Muses Code JS - Javascript workshop for beginners! NOW REMOTE!!

Muses run JavaScript and Node.js workshops for women, non-binary and trans folk around Australia.We believe that everyone should try programming at least once in their life. Therefore we created a community where, in a friendly atmosphere with a great vibe you can try programming for the first time or, if you already code, learn something new about JavaScript and/or Node.js.

Muses Code JS

<H2>Who are we?</H2>
Muses Code JS is an Australia wide program that supports gender diversity in the tech world by teaching people to code!
Workshops range from beginner to more advanced and are open to all women, trans and non-binary folks aged 16+.
We are a group passionate about educating and getting people excited about technology. Whether you have your own business and want to be able to create or support your own website or tech... Or you are interested in a career change into technology... Come along and give it a go in a supportive and safe environment (or join us remotely online)! 
<H2>Who is the event for?</H2>
Our full-day coding bootcamp is a great place for people to learn the basics of programming (JavaScript - the most popular and widely used programming language in the world), especially for those who have never tried programming before! This event is also good for those who want to grow their network and meet new people with similar interests.

REMOTE WORKSHOP CHANGES  Due to the outbreak of COV19, we will be taking this workshop completely online! We will, therefore, need to change some of the ways we interact and engage on the day and will keep you updated in the coming weeks. For now, we have increased the allocation of remote tickets and advised our mentors &amp; sponsors that we will be fully online. Keep your eyes peels here and via email if you have already applied for a ticket!

FAQs
 
Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?
Yes, the event is 16+. For legal reasons, those who are under 18 must have a guardian present with them at all times - ask your guardian to complete the workshop too!   
Can men attend?
Muses Code JS run workshops for women, trans and non-binary participants nation-wide. Anyone who is an ally to diversity may apply, we ask that you attend with a friend or colleague who is female-identifying or NB. If capacity is reached, preference will be given to initial parties listed.  
 I can't physically make it, but I reallllly wanna participate - can I?
You bet! Register for a 'remote' ticket and you'll be able to work from home, or with friends in your local town and we'll know not to cater food for you - just mentors! You'll be able to access advice from peers and mentors via slack. 
 What do I need to bring/prepare for the event?
You will need a laptop, a good nights rest and a water bottle - as well as a charger and password for the computer. The event is for beginners, so no prior knowledge or applications are required. If you have attended before, you may like to try one of our extension workshops. We may contact you with additional requirements in the week leading up to the event. Please contact us if you are unable to use or borrow a laptop.  
What does the workshop schedule look like?
The day will begin at 9:45am with registrations and will conclude at 4:00 pm. It is a self-paced workshop with assistance as required from mentors, insight from industry professionals throughout the day and lunch will be provided. For additional information, see the agenda in the event description. 
What are my transport/parking options for getting to and from the event?
As the workshop is in Melbourne CBD we recommend using public transport options for the entire, or last leg, of your journey to the event. Paid car parks can be found in the surrounds if required.
 
I have accessibility requirements, how do I let organisers know?
If you have specific accessibility requirements in the physical space, or for audio and visual elements of the workshop, please get in contact with our event organisers. We will work with you to determine how we can ensure your needs are met for optimal participation in the day.
