FAQ

How much does the workshop cost? Nothing, it's free! You just need to be excited!

Who is this aimed for? Women of any age with basic knowledge of working with a computer. We’ve had people of all ages taking part. Speeches and workshops are in polish or english. Please bring your laptop.

Can men attend? Yes, but girls are given a priority.

I think I might be too old for Rails Girls. You're not. It's about "girl power", not your age.

But I know nothing about programming. Great, apply right now! We all have been absolute beginners at some point in our life.
