If you are a high-school or university female student and want to learn how to build websites, then this DjangoGirls workshop is perfect for you!
Come along to the workshop at CERN in Geneva on the 24th March 2018 for a free one-day workshop for beginners where you can learn to build your own blog website using Django!
We believe that IT industry will greatly benefit from bringing more women into technology. We want to give you an opportunity to learn how to programme and become one of us - women programmer!
There will be an installation party on the evening of the 23th March 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.

Do I need to know anything about websites or programming?
No. The workshop is 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!
Je ne parle que le français, puis-je y assister ?
Bien sûr ! L'atelier se déroulera en anglais et en français avec l'aide de nos excellents coaches.
Should I bring my own laptop?
Yes. It is important for us that YOU take back home everything you’ll write and create during the workshop and continue to practice. However, if this could prevent your participation, please indicate it in the registration form and we would exceptionally organize ourselves differently.
Do I need to have something installed on my laptop?
We are organizing an install party the day before the event, on the evening of Friday 23 March, so that your laptops are perfectly configured for the workshop.
What is the format of the workshop? What if I have trouble keeping up?
During the workshop, you will work in small groups of 3 particpants each. Each group works with a dedicated coach. The coaches are experienced software developers, and excited to volunteer their time, knowledge, and energy for Django Girls.
Is food provided?
Yes. Breakfast and lunch will be served during the workshop.
During the workshops you'll work in small groups of 3 persons. Each group will be tutored by one coach — experienced member of Python and Django community who will volunteer their time, knowledge and energy for Django Girls.
Many thanks to IdeaSquare, the CERN Information Technology Department, as well as the CERN Diversity Office and Local Engagement teams!
We could not have reached this point without the support of great people and organisations who have provided us with the funding, knowledge and time to help us make this project a reality. We thank them very much for their support!
