The workshop is aimed at training 40 women on the basics of programming and building a website. Beginners are totally welcome; all you need is to come with a laptop,laptop charger, flashdrive, loads of curiousity and smiles. We promise a relaxed coding environment.

The workshop kicks off on 14th, October, 2017 at Yelocode: No. 11 EleKahia Road Community hall, Rebisi, Rivers State, Port Harcourt

We believe 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 – women programmers!

Don't wait too long. Reserve your seat now!

If you have a laptop and you are willing to dedicate 4 weeks to learn how to build your first website, then you can apply for our event! You don't need to know any technical stuff – our workshop is for people who are new to programming.

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 Port Harcourt, can I attend?

Of course! Registration is open to all, however if you live outside Port Harcourt, you should be able to cater for your transportation and accomodation costs as we might not be able to do so.

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 Django Port Harcourt good for a total beginner?

Even though you are new to programming,the event is a good place to meet many interesting people in the industry and find inspiration.

Is food provided?

Yes. Thanks to our Sponsors, snacks and lunch will be served during workshops.
