+
+
+### Beginners' Day Unconference
+
+The Beginners' Day Unconference is designed to help you start and grow your tech career. On the day, you'll be able to:
+* Attend panel discussions where junior developers share their real-world experiences, hiring managers explain what they look for in candidates, and experienced developers discuss the journey from junior to senior roles;
+* Participate in an interactive workshop focused on practical skills for succeeding in your first tech job;
+* Join discussion circles that bridge perspectives between beginners and seasoned professionals;
+* Watch lightning talks from those who've recently made the leap into tech careers.
+
+Whether you're considering a career change, looking for your first tech role, or wanting to advance your early career, these collaborative sessions provide insights and advice from people who've been in your shoes.
+
+### Django Girls
+
+Django Girls is a welcoming, hands-on workshop designed specifically for women and other underrepresented groups with little to no previous programming experience. Throughout this full-day session, participants will build their very own web application using Python and Django, guided by experienced mentors who provide personalized support every step of the way. The workshop follows a carefully designed curriculum that makes web development accessible and fun, creating a supportive environment where beginners can ask questions, experiment, and celebrate their progress together.
+
+No prior knowledge is required: just bring your curiosity and a laptop, and by the end of the day, you'll have deployed your first web application to the internet!
+
+We are also looking for **mentors** for Django Girls. Applications for mentors close on May 18th, and successful mentors will be informed by May 25th.

+
+### Humble Data
+
+Humble Data is an inclusive, beginner-friendly workshop that introduces participants to data science using Python. It is aimed at people from underrepresented groups in tech but is open to everyone. Throughout this interactive session, you'll learn essential Python programming concepts while exploring real-world datasets, creating visualizations, and discovering patterns through analysis. Experienced mentors will guide you through each step, from setting up your environment to implementing data analysis techniques. The workshop emphasizes a hands-on approach where you'll actively work with tools like Jupyter notebooks, pandas, and matplotlib in a supportive, collaborative atmosphere.
+
+No prior programming or data science experience is necessary: just bring your laptop and curiosity, and you'll leave with practical skills to begin your data science journey.
