Django Girls Belo Horizonte

This blog post was written by Daniel Daim. Thank you Daniel :)

A lot of work and a lot of rewards. If we want to make a summary of how the workshop was it would sound like this. It would be impossible to limit the event to just one sentence.

Since January we have been working hard to make the first Django Girls in Belo Horizonte come to fruition. And we had a lot of tasks to do, including the researching sponsors and finding beautiful hearts of people who become our coaches and organizers.

And this was the result of Django Girls on May 25th of 2017: Women from several backgrounds learning, coding and feeling very happy! Some of they gave us inspirational feedback.

- “For someone who always thought that they never would be able to program, making my own blog and deploying it into the cloud is surreal. Thanks for the opportunity.”

- “Best day ever! Thanks for reminding me that I am able to build things!”

- “For the first time in my life I went to a technology event without been judged. Thanks for the opportunity and for the wonderful workshop, guys!”

- “It was awesome! I am very motivated to join the coding world! I thank you all for the dedication of those who organized this event.”

- “I loved the way the tutorial went. I felt that I learned all that I could and, the best part, by myself.”

Every feedback, every smile on that day made all of our effort worth it. We had more of 200 applications to the workshop.

Unfortunately, we only could host 30 people. But our desire is to organize more Django Girls editions to accommodate all the girls that we can!
