Girl Geek Afternoon Tea – Web Development Workshop

Girl Geek Afternoon Tea

Girl Geek Afternoon Tea

Title: Girl Geek Afternoon Tea – Web Development Workshop
Location: MadLab
Description: Girl Geek Dinner has got a little sister – Girl Geek Afternoon Tea!
Start Time: 14:00
Date: 2010-04-25
End Time: 16:30

Who:
Girl Geeks, bring along anyone you like! Your friends, sisters, mums, cousins, daughters, colleagues… who might be interested in doing some techy stuff… Even boys can come if you want to bring them as your date! (But please register everyone so we know how many people we can expect :)
What:
Fancy getting an insight into the basics of web development? Make your first steps with HTML and CSS to get you started with building your own website and blog templates? Learn to love pointy brackets and hex colour codes? Look no further!
At the Girl Geek Afternoon Tea workshop, you will have the chance to learn some basic HTML/CSS skills and get some practice by putting together a small web page. Don’t worry if you’ve never done this before, we’ll have an introduction to get you started and experienced girl geeks to help out with questions and problems!
As always, the workshop will be very much hands on and more of a taster than a serious training programme – it’s about the fun, meeting people… and of course, tea and biscuits!
Bring along…?
Your laptop! (We won’t have any other PCs there, so you really need a laptop for the workshop)
Your favourite mug!
Your favourite biscuits, cupcakes, tea, coffee (we’ll have the basics, but in case you fancy something slightly more interesting… :)
Your friends, sisters, mums, cousins, daughters, colleagues… who might be interested in doing some techy stuff.
The event is completely free to attend and there will be no charges for parts etc – however, MadLab would be very happy to get a few donations (for the official MadLab donation cat) to keep the space running!

    I would love to go. Is that ok to bring a Macbook?

    Hi Shuang, you can bring any computer you work on, it should make too much of a difference. See you down there!

    I am a boy and I would really like to come along. Would you mind terribly if I did?

    Hi Aaron,

    if you’re coming with a female friend, it’s all fine anyway (see “Even boys can come if you want to bring them as your date!” above). Since we’re trying to get as many women involved as possible, you would have to convince a female friend to come along otherwise :)

    I just have to point out that the workshops are not necessarily about teaching skills – they’re more of a taster where women can socialise with like minded people and learn something about unfamiliar technologies.

    Oh, and it’s all about the cake anyway ;)

    Hope you all enjoy the next GG Afternoon Tea!

    Sam
