Django Girls Blog — It's our 10th birthday!

Django Girls has turned 10!  We’re so proud to reach this momentous milestone and of everything the community has achieved!

During the past decade, 2467 volunteers in 109 countries have run 1137 free workshops. More than 24,500 women in 593 cities have attended our events, and for many of them, Django Girls was their first step towards a career in tech.

The results speak for themselves.
