Django Girls Kraków, 11th November 2014

Only three days after awesome Django Girls Warsaw next Django Girls event took place. This time in Kraków, Poland.

43 amazing women and 15 fantastic coaches met in Hub:raum to dive into Django.

A day before, on Monday, everybody met at 6:00 p.m. for Installation Party. Even though the time was limited, everybody had everything installed very quickly and most of the groups started Python chapter immediately, because they were so eager to learn!

On Tuesday we met in Hub:raum again, had a tasty breakfast around 8:30 a.m. and after a welcome talk, the fun part began!

Although we were worried that the tutorial is too long, it turned out that two hours after lunch, many groups were almost done with a tutorial! It was amazing! In next hours most of people finished tutorial, managed to do all tutorial extensions and still had time for a coffee, tasty cupcakes or a hot chocolate!

I even merged a pull request to the tutorial from one of the attendees, because she made some tutorial fixes! It was awesome!

We were overwhelmed by how motivated and focused everybody was! And how much they enjoyed learning how to build a website from scratch!

Around 7:30 p.m. we officially closed the workshop and at 8:00 p.m. Pykonik - Kraków Python User Group - began.
