Program for the day

10.00 Introduction from Pink Programming and a short introduction to programming for beginners
10.30 Chatbot workshop with Hanieh and Sigrun

Chatbots are not a new thing, and in 2018, they are everywhere. They can exist in services you’ve already been using for years. Not only are they used for customer service, chatbots can be used for entertainment purposes as well. Research has proven that if performing a task took more than 2 steps on UI, chatbots provided a much better user experience. However, this doesn’t mean that chatbots will and should replace every user interface out there. So when is it right to build a chatbot? And what exactly is a chatbot?

In this workshop you will learn the key principles that Accenture uses when designing and developing chatbots. Through the day you will learn what is the best use case for a chatbot, and what makes it useful. In the end you will learn how to build one yourself after designing and developing a chatbot concept on your own. 

12.30 Lunch
13.15 Workshop continues
16.00 Final words and goodbye

About Pink Programming

Pink Programming is a non profit organisation started in Sweden 2015 by three female developers, with the purpose to increase the number of female programmers! 

They, together with many volunteers and participants, have created an inspiring environment where girls and women who are interested in programming can have fun and feel at home while they learn to code, or build on their existing skills.

Pink Programming has gone really well and is continuing to grow as an organisation and female network, and now its time to bring this initiative to Oslo!
