Welcome, to the "Learn IT, Girl!" international mentorship program official website! 

This website is of the first edition of "Learn IT, Girl". For current editions, check www.learnitgirl.com

 Our aim is to help women learn a programming language while doing an awesome project! But don't worry, you're not alone in this journey, each scholar has a mentor that guides them on their path. There are many roads you can take and we will make sure you go on the one that is best for you - without missing out on the important features of the chosen language.

The program is now finished! Everybody involved will be notified by email of their completion of the program. Thank you everyone for being part of this amazing journey!

Description

"Learn IT, Girl!" is an international mentorship program, which means that every woman accepted as a scholar will be guided by a mentor. 

Any woman of any age can apply to become a scholar, as long as they want to learn a programming language. The mentors will help you to learn by doing, they will give you resources, answer your questions, and help you understand how coding works. To make it a bit more fun, the mentors and the scholars will be from different countries. 

Scholars get to choose the project they want to work on, and they should have an idea prior to enrolling (it's best to think of something that you would actually love to work on, something other people would also like to use or help develop). The projects will be hosted on GitHub, so the scholars will also learn how to handle Open Source projects. In time, if their programs become popular, more people will offer to help them with their projects, so the scholars have a chance to become team leaders as well. 

The program lasts for three months, from November 2014 to January 2015; applications for the program start in October (we start by enrolling and selecting mentors, and after that we continue with scholars enrolment). There will be a mid-term and a final evaluation, so be prepared to share your results with the world!


Application results: Mentor / Scholar matching

The results are finally here! We are so happy to announce the mentor / scholar matches for this first edition of "Learn IT, Girl!". We want to thank everyone who applied! In case you weren't selected for this edition, you can still join one of the scholar projects (after they will be announced, on the Facebook group).
