PyLadies Boston
We're the Boston chapter of PyLadies, an international mentorship group for underrepresented genders in the Python community such as, but not limited to, women, trans people, and non-binary people. We welcome Python enthusiasts, developers, and programmers of all coding proficiency levels in the Greater Boston, Massachusetts area and throughout New England.
We host monthly events, talks, and study groups where you can meet other pythonistas and learn more about programming, data science, web development, and more.
All skill levels welcome!
Events
Join our Meetup group to hear about our free events. We meet on the second Friday of the month at noon for our monthly "Grab a Byte" virtual lunch series, plus special events throughout the year.
Interested in hosting us, giving a talk, or leading a workshop? We'd love to hear from you!
Organizers
PyLadies Boston is led by a dedicated team of volunteer organizers including Fay Shaw and others who work to create an inclusive, welcoming community for Python enthusiasts of all skill levels.
Our organizers bring diverse backgrounds in software engineering, data science, education, and community building. Together, we host monthly meetups, workshops, and special events throughout the Greater Boston area.
