Life stories - Dori Czapari Django Girls Alumni - Python/Ruby Developer, Budapest, Hungary.

“After attending the Django Girls workshop, I kept learning programming and ended working in tech as a developer. I also became involved in many tech activities within my city.”

Life stories - Agnieszka Zgud Django Girls Alumni

“To my great surprise after 8 hours we all, (as far as I remember) more than 100 girls, managed to finish the task, and it really was fun (for the same 8 hours I think my brain was slowly boiling).”

Life stories - Emily JohnsonDjango Girls Kumasi Organizer

“In our very first Python training in Kumasi in 2016. There were only 8 females out of a total of 40 trainees in attendance. Thus, this was a massive improvement. It is proof that our efforts to encourage more ladies into tech is gradually bearing fruits.”
