Learn to code this summer! 

5 days of beginner-friendly coding, yoga, good food and social activities, surrounded by beautiful nature and new friends - that's Pink Programming Summer Camp for you!

At this coding camp, we'll start from the very beginning. You'll get to learn the basics of programming and leave with new insights, hands-on knowledge and memories for a lifetime. Let's start your programming journey this summer!

You'll get to try out programming languages like Arduino, CircuitPython and JavaScript.  We'll start from the very beginning, and electronics is often considered a good starting point for learning about technology. At this camp, we'll get to brainstorm, build and program different kinds of electronics – paper circuits, electronic textiles and the "traditional" electronics. We'll also get to build hardware circuits with conductive tape and conductive yarn/thread, and for those who are interested in soldering, there will be a chance to try that too.

Best of all –no prior experience in programming is needed! 

What:
The camp will include both introductory theory and lots of hands-on practical projects. Whenever we're not coding together, we'll offer the possibility to try other fun activities like yoga lessons, walks by the beach, swimming and sauna! Also, if you prefer to spend your downtime resting on your own, that's of course up to you to decide!

For who:
We welcome all women (cis and transgender) and non-binary people. We would love to have you who is curious about coding! This could be the perfect chance to try out if programming is something for you. This is a beginner camp, so no previous programming experience is required, we'll guide you step by step from the start. Perhaps this experience can help you choose your future career or studies? And guess what? We're offering cheaper tickets if you're 25 or under! 

Doesn't this sound like an amazing summer plan? Join us for a unique experience in which super interesting topics, learning, fun, and new friends are guaranteed! 💖

Find more information below and join us this August to dig deep into the exciting world of programming and enjoy the summer sun in beautiful Skåne! ☀️
