Are you interested in IT but don’t know if it’s right for you? If you are a woman and want to learn how to program, we have good news for you: we are holding a one-day free workshop for beginners in Harare!
It will occur on October 31st 2024, at MBARE ART SPACE, Pazarangu Ave, Harare, Zimbabwe.
We believe that everyone will greatly benefit from bringing more women into technology. We want to allow you to learn how to program, realize that everyone can do it and, hopefully, get excited about it!
The workshop is free of charge. If you are motivated to learn and then share your knowledge with others, don't wait too long: you can apply for the workshop until October 10th, 2024!
If you are a woman, know English and have a laptop, you can apply for our event! You don't need to know any technical stuff – our workshop is for people new to programming.
As a workshop attendee, you will:
We have space for around 30 people, so please provide us with all the required information in the form. If we have too many applicants, we must select based on your submitted forms.
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!
I am not living in Harare, can I attend?
Of course! Workshops will be in English, so if you have no troubles with speaking and understanding English - you should apply. If you need financial aid to get to Harare - let us know. We are willing to help you!
Should I bring my own laptop?
Yes. We have no hardware, so 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.
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.
Even though you are new to programming, a workshop is a good place to meet many interesting people in the industry and find inspiration.
Is food provided?
Yes. Snacks and lunch will be served during workshops.
We couldn't be here without the support from amazing people and organizations who donated money, knowledge and time to help us make this a reality. If you want to contribute and support our goal, please get in touch: [email protected]
