This is not a test drive. We're looking for up to 15 girls to help us design a brand new walking tour app, due for release in the Apple and Android this summer.

The app will take users around sites of women-led activism in East London. From places where the suffragettes once protested, to sites of anti-racist demonstrations, the app will wind through the streets of East London in an fascinating historical tour.

But we want the girls to tell us what it should look like, how it should function and how to make it fun for other young people.

As part of the two-day course they will get to analyse existing apps, learn about user experience, get to experiment with app design tools and develop their problem solving skills. And of course learn about a facinating part of local women's history.

The workshop runs from 10am to 1pm on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th May. A place on the course can be secured by paying a £5, which is refundable when you turn up to the event.

FAQs

What age range is it suitable for?
We recommend the course for ages 10+

Do I need to bring anything?
You are not required to bring anything, although if you do have a smartphone and laptop it would be helpful to bring them along.

Why only girls?
Women and girls are under-represented in both history and technology. The girls we work with have told us they would like female only workshops.

What are my transport/parking options getting to the event?
Parking is limited and we encoourage people to use public transport.

Is lunch provided?
We will provide light refreshments, but not lunch

Can my daughter attend just one day?
The girls will get the most by doing two days, and we want to prioritise those who are able to attend both days. If 48 hours before the event there are still places left, we are willing to consider people doing one day. Please email us for further information.
