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 Lolingwe, can I attend?

Of course! Workshops will be in English and virtual, so if you have no troubles with speaking and understanding English - you should apply. If you need financial aid to get a good internet access - let us know. We are willing to help you!

Do I need my own laptop?

Yes. We have no hardware, so we expect you to have 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.

Is Django Girls Lilongwe event good for a total beginner?

Yes, it is good good for a total beginner. Even though you are new to programming, the workshop is a good place to meet many interesting people in the industry and find inspiration.
