Django Girls

Are you are a Female and want to learn how to make websites? We live in a world that technology keeps growing rapidly and transforms many people lives. We use it every day, but not all of us know how to shift from consuming technology to producing it. If you are a woman and are interested in diving into the world of the internet with us, we have good news for you: we are holding a one-day workshop for beginners!

This workshop is aimed at total beginners. You don't need to know anything about programming to participate. You just need to bring your own wifi-enabled laptop on Friday 21st of February, 2025 and all day Saturday 22nd February, 2025 and have a sufficient understanding of English to follow our English-language tutorial. It will take place at Eastern Tech Hub in Koforidua.

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!

Workshops are free of charge!

You'll work through a tutorial in small groups of three with a coach, so you'll be able to learn at your own pace.

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 Koforidua, can I attend?

Yes, you can! We welcome people from all over. Do go ahead to register if you are really interested, then shoot us a mail at koforidua@djangogirls.org explaining your circumstances and we will see what we can do.

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, Git and Python 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 Girls Koforidua good for a total beginner?

Absolutely! The workshop is designed for beginners who are interested in technology and want to learn how to code, Even though you are new to programming, The workshop is a good place to meet many interesting people in the industry and find inspiration.

Is food provided?

Yes!! Thanks to our fantastic Sponsors, snacks and lunch will be served during the workshop. We would ensure that we can provide you with food and drinks.

Become a Coach!!!

Django Girls Koforidua 2024 HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES

Your health and safety are important to us. We want Django Girls Koforidua to be an event that everyone feels safe attending. Django Girls Koforidua will follow applicable state and local health and safety laws, adapting our plans accordingly and sharing updates with you and other Django Girls Koforidua audiences.

The details below are just some of the measures we will implement for Django Girls Koforidua.

We are asking you to wear a mask during your time at Django Girls Koforidua. 

Exceptions are:
- Outdoor spaces
- Indoors while actively consuming food or beverages
- While necessary for communicating with someone who is hearing impaired when the ability to see the mouth is essential for communication
- Very briefly to take photos

Masks must be worn over the nose and mouth and must be made of a tight-knit, non-permeable material. N95 or equivalent masks such as KN95 or K95 are recommended. Alternatives to face coverings such as face shields, loose gaiters, scarves, bandanas, and face coverings with ventilation are not permitted to be used as masks. 

Attendees who are repeatedly unwilling to comply with the mask requirements will be asked to leave. Please don’t be “this person.”

DISCLAIMER

Django Girls Koforidua takes these Health & Safety Guidelines very seriously and will therefore enforce a 3-strike rule. Anyone who violates these guidelines on three separate accounts, such as continuing to not wear a proper mask or disregarding social distancing, is subject to removal from the conference.
