About this event

Are you looking to learn to code? Curious about the building blocks of the web? Then join us for the first hands-on workshop of Women in Tech Club where you'll build your first one-pager profile in HTML and CSS! This is a virtual, beginner-level, introductory web development workshop, where you’ll discover the core concepts of HTML and CSS to build and style a website. You’ll leave with a personal profile page you coded yourself, and there will be take-home materials from the session to build on what you have learned.

To ensure a high quality and personalised experience, there will be only 20 spots available. As in all our events, everyone is welcomed irrespective of gender, race, seniority, educational level.

About Women in Tech Club

Women in Tech Club is a community where people of all genders can dream without limits — and find the support they need to actually go after those dreams.

Our focus is on creating real connection, supporting people in doing the inner work that we need to really go after our dreams. Because you can be the best developer or designer in the world, but without the ability to connect, to share your knowledge, and the confidence to own who you are — you can only go so far.

Find your people. Find your power.

This event is FREE to all participants. Upon registration, you will receive a confirmation email from Eventbrite with the Zoom details.
