The Boston Python Workshop is a series of 1.5 day project-driven workshops and follow-up events aimed at beginning Python programmers. These are free events staffed by volunteers from the local programming and open source communities. We work closely with the [http://meetup.bostonpython.com| Boston Python Meetup], a large local Python user group. |

==Our goal== |
|||
Our goal is to increase Python community diversity through programming outreach events. Basic programming skills are so empowering and useful that we think everyone should have them. |
|||
Most directly, with every workshop we get to introduce 30 or 40 women and their friends to programming in Python. We also strive to: |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>Show new programmers and the Boston Python community examples of smart, confident, capable programmers of all backgrounds.</li> |
|||
<li>Bring new, awesome, diverse people into local Python programming communities through diversity and outreach events.</li> |
|||
<li>Inspire other people to run their own introductory workshops and outreach events, and to get more user groups thinking about diversity and outreach.</li> |
|||
</ul> |
