GirlsCode MK is a nonprofit organisation based in Milton Keynes that supports girls and women in their coding journey by offering free workshops and meetups for members of all ages and skills. They host bi-weekly coding workshops for girls and women of all ages and backgrounds.
A team of hero volunteers join to help attendees overcome any hurdle they encounter.
All events are beginner-friendly and welcome those with zero coding experience as well as those who are currently employed as programmers and web developers.
Everyone is welcome and those with more experience can either get together to develop projects or coach beginners.
The meetings are informal and relaxed. Take it as a space where you can come, have a chat about coding, swap tips, ask questions and even play some beginner-friendly online coding games. If you a ready to start your web-developer journey now, check out this short guide.
Languages and frameworks studies include Python, Django, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP and more!
"Now that you’re asking, yes, men are welcome to attend as well, but since our space is limited we’ll prioritise women," organisers said.
"We don’t want men out of the IT industry, we just want more women in it!
"We want to encourage more women to become web developers by sharing the wonderful world of coding"
GirlsCode are based at The National Museum of Computing, Bletchley Park.
At GirlsCode we believe in co-learning. Share what you know with others and help those that are less experienced than you are. Be kind.
