Django Girls

Technology is shaping our world faster than ever, especially with AI opening up new possibilities every day.
But at its heart, it all begins with one simple skill: coding.

Curious about coding but not sure where to start?

If you’re a woman ready to take your first step into tech, join our one-day beginner workshop where you’ll learn how to build your very first website, no technical experience needed.

In a welcoming, supportive space, you’ll not only learn the basics of coding but also discover how today's AI tools can help you learn, practice, and create with confidence. 

This is your gateway into understanding and shaping the digital world around you.

We believe the IT industry will greatly benefit from bringing more women into technology. We want to give you an opportunity to learn how to program and become one of us – women programmers!

Workshops are free of charge and if you cannot afford coming to Kuala Lumpur but are very motivated to learn and then share your knowledge with others, we may have some funds to help you out with your travel costs and accommodation. Don't wait too long: you can apply for the workshop only until 19th October 2025!

Apply for the workshop!

If you are a woman and know English (or Malay) you can apply for our event! You don't need to know any technical stuff – our workshop is for people who are new to programming.

As a workshop attendee you will:

  • attend a one-day Django workshop during which you will create your first website
  • be fed by us: during our event, food is provided 

We're keeping this workshop small so that every participant gets personal guidance and support.
We have space only for 30 people, so make sure to fill out the form very carefully!

Applications are now open!

Application process closes on 19th October 2025 and you'll be informed about acceptance or rejection by 22nd October (or sooner)!

Do I need to know anything about websites or programming?

No! Workshops are for beginners. You don’t need to know anything about it. However, if you have a little bit of technical knowledge (i.e. you know what HTML or CSS are) you still can apply!

Should I bring my own laptop?

Yes. We expect you to bring your computer with you. It is also important for us that you will take home everything you’ll write and create during workshops. If you don’t have access to a laptop, just let us know in your application—we’ll do our best to arrange one for you.

Do I need to have something installed on my laptop?

It would be helpful to have Django installed before workshops, but wouldn't expect you to install anything on your own.We will make sure that one of our coaches will help you out with this task.

Is food provided?

Yes. Snacks and lunch will be served during workshops.

Be a Mentor!
