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!
When:Saturday, April 8, 2016 at 10am
Where: Common Code, 8-10 Studley Street, Abbotsford in Melbourne, Australia
Bring: Laptop and charger
Cost: Free! Need assistance in getting to Melbourne? Email us!
We believe the tech industry will greatly benefit from bringing more women into technology. We want to offer you the opportunity to learn the basics of programming in a safe environment. Who knows, maybe you'll even end up transitioning careers!
Do you identify as a woman? Do you have a laptop? Then you're eligible to apply for our workshop! You don't need to know anything technical – our workshop is for women who are completely new to programming. It's a great non-confrontational introductory workshop.
Don't identify as a woman? That's ok! We accept applications from men as well. However, women will be given preference. There are only 50 spots available this time.
By becoming an attendee you'll:
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 don't live in Melbourne, can I attend?
Of course! If you need financial aid to get to Melbourne or you need assistance with booking flights or hotel in Melbourne - 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.
Is food provided?
Yes. Thanks to Common Code, 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 email us.
Common Code works with you to design and build your digital products. Together, we build and grow your company.
