It will take place on Sunday,at SHERPANY 5th of November 2017.

We believe that 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 – female programmers!

Workshops are free of charge.

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 can still apply!

I am not living in Portugal, can I attend?

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

Should I bring my own laptop?

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

Will food be provided?

Yes. Thanks to our sponsors, snacks, beverages and lunch will be served during the workshop.

  • Utham Kumar
  • Akarsha Sehwag
  • YS Ramya
