If you want to learn how to build websites, then this DjangoGirls workshop is perfect for you! πͺπ½
Come along to the workshop at Skyscanner's venue on the 9th December for a free one-day workshop where you can learn to build your own blog website using Django!
We strongly believe in the value of diversity, and these events aim to kickstart and support women in tech. We will have a super supportive and encouraging environment where you can always ask questions and get the most out of this event. π·
You don't need to have coded before, just need to be super excited to learn! π
There will be an installation party on the evening of the 8th December where you can meet the coaches and other attendees, as well as install all of the software you will need for the workshop the next day.
On the 9th of December we will have the full-day workshop where you can work with the people you met at the installation party to build a website!! π©βπ»

I am Dutch, 23 years old and a PhD student in Artificial Intelligence at Imperial College London. Besides nerding behind my computer I attempt to be active by dancing in a pole ('pole fitness' we like to call it), but my absolute favourite hobby is singing (mostly pop \& musical theatre).

Alex Pilcher
I'm a Senior Developer at Tate (www.tate.org.uk) and have been part of Tate's Digital team since 2008. We've been using Django here for around four years and, compared to other web frameworks I've worked with, I've found it a joy to use. I'd be delighted to help other developers at any level get started with Django - and I'd also just love to meet other women who code!

@vietlqI love food, photography, traveling and technology. Sometimes I mentor CS students for engineering job interviews. Blockchain and cryptocurrencies currently excite me.
Leena
I work as a Software Engineer at M&S. I work on full stack applications for POC projects for the stores in M&S and we use several technologies such as angularjs, node.js, python. I have used flask framework to build python api's before. I came across Django after a friend introduced me to it. I started writing a blog using Django and was really interested in it. I supported Django girls Sheffield as a coach recently. I want to be coach again because it will help me support the girls community and help me improves my skills and experience in coaching.
We couldn't be here without the support from amazing people and the organisations who have 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]
