Ladies Learning Code

Today, we’re excited to announce that we will finally be offering workshops outside of Toronto. Beautiful Vancouver, here we come!

Since our first workshop in Toronto on August 6th, 2011, we’ve been blown away (delightfully surprised, really) by how much interest there’s been in our workshops – and not just from people in Toronto. Since starting up, we’ve received dozens of emails from people asking us to bring Ladies Learning Code to their city, or offering to do the work to start it up themselves! As fun and exciting as it sounded, we always felt it was too soon. At least, until now!

About our Vancouver Workshops

We’ll be organizing two workshops in Vancouver this summer, and we couldn’t be more excited about it! The workshops are sponsored by Simon Fraser University (have you checked out their new Digital Communications Certificate program?), and will be hosted by Launch Academy. Toronto’s own Pearl Chen (who led the first Ladies Learning Code workshop ever!) will be leading these two (identical) workshops in Vancouver.

If you’re from Vancouver, we hope you’ll join us at the end of August! And if you aren’t from Vancouver, you probably know someone who is…so please spread the word!

Thanks again to our awesome sponsor, Simon Fraser University, and to our host, Launch Academy! And also to Sonia Ryan, who put us in touch with Nicole Jasinski at Launch Academy when we were searching for a venue. So thanks to Nicole, too, for saying yes! It’s looking like the tech community in Vancouver is going to be just as supportive of Ladies Learning Code as Toronto’s tech community has been…

See you in Vancouver on August 24th and 25th!
