If you are a woman and want to learn how to make websites, we have good news for you: we are holding a one-day workshop for beginners!

It will take place on 9th, March, 2017 at Moshood Abiola Polytechnic in Abeokuta.

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 ABEOKUTA but are very motivated to learn and then share your knowledge with others, let us know by sending a mail to [email protected]. Don't wait too long: you can apply for the workshop only until 14th February, 2017!

Of course! Workshops will be in English, so if you have no troubles with speaking and understanding English - you should apply.

Should I bring my own laptop?

Yes. It is necessary, Because it is important for us that you will take home everything you’ll write and create during workshops.

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!

We would be delighted if you would like to join us as a mentor!
