About This Event
Python Weekend is a hands-on, community-driven event designed to introduce beginners — especially women and underrepresented groups in tech — to the world of programming through Python. Over the course of the event, participants will move from writing their very first lines of code to building simple, functional projects, guided by experienced coaches in a supportive, judgment-free environment.
No prior programming experience is required. Whether you're a complete beginner or someone looking to sharpen your foundational skills, Kamnde Python Weekend offers a welcoming space to learn, ask questions, and connect with a growing community of developers.
Beyond the code, this event is about building confidence, sparking curiosity, and opening doors to new opportunities in tech. Bring your laptop, your questions, and your enthusiasm — we'll take care of the rest.
