Learn Python Programming and enjoy the Swedish summer on the country side 

Update: This is awesome, we are all sold out! If you didn't get a ticket you can register on the waiting list. If someone with a ticket has to decline we'll contact you!

This camp is for you that have NO prior experience in coding at all. We will start from the very beginning :) All you need to do is to be eager to learn and bring your own laptop to the camp.

The Pink Programming Python camp is a long weekend spent at beautiful Bryggholmens gård with the aim of learning to code while we socialize and enjoy the Swedish summer. During the camp you will learn to program in Python. There will be teacher-led lessons and small individual programming tasks combined with social activities, cooking and free time to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. 

There will be a very tight schedule of activities, but it is up to you to decide how much you would like to participate in. At the location you can enjoy  the beautiful landscape and atmosphere, go for a walk, swim, sauna or just relax. See pictures of the farm and its surroundings here.

When? 
Thursday July 13 to Tuesday July 18. 

Where? 

Bryggholmens gård, on an island in Mälaren. The last 6 minutes of the trip is by boat from here.

For whom?
Women and transgender people with NO prior experience in coding, who speaks English.

Why?
Because programming is fun - and even more fun when done together with others in a beautiful surrounding. 

What will I learn? 

You will learn to write your own programs using the programming language Python. You will probably not be a professional developer after this camp, but you will get to learn very important fundamentals for programming, you will be able to continue your learning on your own. And most importantly, we hope that you will have had a really good time!

How much is it? 
1500 sek (900 sek for students and unemplyed).

What is included in the price?

  • Shared accommodation at the location.
  • All meals that we cook together in teams.
  • An intensive programming course for beginners.

What is not included?  
You'll have to bring your own computer and your own bed linen. Also, getting to and from the camp is not included in the price (The last 6 minute by boat is on the other hand included). It is your own responsibility to sort out the transport to the boat, but we are of course happy to help.
