Beginner Python Night

Are you new to coding or looking to learn a new coding language? Join us for a hands-on Introduction to Python workshop! We will take you from writing your first line of code to a small working example.

No prior experience is necessary. This will be a friendly and supportive environment, and we will work through any challenges together. There will be several expert volunteers at the event to answer any questions.

Why Python? Python is one of the most popular coding languages and is used for areas ranging from building Machine Learning models to managing APIs for websites. It is, also, very beginner friendly, and a good starting point for a journey into software development.

This event is primarily intended to create an empowering and supportive space for women and non-binary individuals to find community, learn new technical concepts, and expand their coding and technical skills. We welcome allies, but we ask that you remain mindful of the event's focus in creating an inclusive environment where women and non-binary participants can connect and fully express themselves. Thank you for your understanding and support.
