What is Python Weekend?

Python Weekend is a community-driven initiative that empowers and helps anyone organise free, hands-on programming workshops by providing tools, resources and support. We are a volunteer-run community with coaches contributing to bring more amazing people into the world of technology. We are making technology more approachable by creating resources designed with empathy.

During each of our events, participants build their first web application using HTML, CSS and Python — in just one weekend.

Python Weekend impacts

Since we started, an army of 6 coaches in the Python Weekend community organised 8 events. We've been to 4 cities across 1 location.
