Who is this intended for? Women of any age with basic knowledge of working with a computer. If you are under 15 years old, please bring a parent or guardian with you.

Do I need a laptop? Yes! Please bring your laptop with you. If you don't have one, email us. We can try to help you procure one for the event.
