Are you a woman interested in learning how to create websites? Great news! We're hosting a two-day workshop, with the first day dedicated to installation and setup.

The event will be held at Treasureland Event Centre, No. 39 Nwaziki Street, Awada, near NEPA Office, Onitsha, on March 21st and 22nd, 2025.

We believe the IT industry thrives when more women join the world of technology. That’s why we’re offering you the chance to learn programming and become part of our growing community of women in tech!  

Our workshops are completely free, and if traveling to Onitsha is a challenge, we may be able to assist with travel and accommodation costs. Don’t wait too long—applications close on February 20th, 2025!

Apply for the workshop!

If you're a woman who speaks English and owns a laptop, you're eligible to join our event! No technical experience is needed—our workshop is designed specifically for beginners in programming.

As a participant, you will:  

  1. Attend a one-day Django workshop where you'll build your very first website.  
  2. Enjoy complimentary meals provided throughout the event.  

 

Spaces are limited to just 30–40 participants, so be sure to complete the application form carefully!

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 Onitsha, can I attend?

Of course! Workshops will be in English, so if you have no troubles with speaking and understanding English - you should apply. If you need financial aid to get to Onitsha - 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.

Why is it important to attend the Instalation party?

You'll have a chance not only to get all the required software ready for the workshop but also meet your coach and your group members. It will make you feel relaxed and prepared for your adventure with programming!

Is food provided?

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

Be a Mentor!

We would be delighted if you would like to join us as a mentor! Please fill the form here if you're interested ❤️. We will get back to you. Thanks
