Want to help?
We are always on the look-out for sponsors for our non-profit events.
Every year hundreds of developers from London give up their time to be coaches and share their knowledge.
But without sponsors, we can’t make these events happen.
Email us.
How much does the workshop cost? Nothing, it's free! You just need to be as excited as we are!
Who is this event aimed at? Women of all ages with basic knowledge of working with a computer. If you are under 18 you will need to be accompanied by an adult (please advise us if this is the case). We have people of all ages taking part. Remember to bring your laptop!
I know how to program. How can I help?
We need dedicated coaches to teach during the events. If you are up for the challenge get in touch.
