PyLadies SG was initiated by an A-level Computing Female student who received a scholarship to pursue an undergraduate degree in Japan.
It is now helmed by a Computing educator and a group of young ladies interested in Computing.
PyLadies Singapore held our first meetup of 2025 in the form of an Intro to Python workshop. More than 50 ladies from all walks of life turned up, and together with our all-female team of speakers and facilitators, almost 70 ladies rocked the house down learning and sharing how to code in Python! 🔥
Thanks to NTU Women In Tech for the kind venue & refreshment sponsorship, so that our ladies can have such a spacious venue to learn and network with each other.
The newly revived PyLadies core committee got together for some bubble tea and planning for the year ahead!
Participants were brought in for a ride where they are exposed to basic Python concepts and its capabailities. They were also awed by the usage of generative AI to debug, solve and write code and certainly left with a clearer understanding of the language.
I'm an A-Level graduate with four years of Computing experience, and I love bringing code to life. Passionate about serving the community, I enjoy building web apps that make a real difference to vulnerable groups. To me, coding isn’t just about logic—it’s about creating impact and making the world a little better, one line of code at a time!
An A-Level Computing student interested programming and computational thinking. Currently assisting with event planning and social media marketing, looking forward to learning from the experience.
A non-computing student venturing into computing, eager to learn through hands-on experience in the Pycon organising committee!

PyLadiesSG was started in 2014 by Ms Cheryl Ng when she was an A-level Computing student in Dunman High School. After attending PyCon APAC 2014 in Taiwan where she co-presented talk on proposing a future-oriented high school Computing curriculum and how to support more females to study Computing, she was inspired and encouraged by the vibrant PyLadies scene in Taiwan that upon returning to Singapore, she applied to start the inaugural PyLadiesSG chapter from the PyLadiesSG international mentoring group. As always, the tech communities were welcoming and supportive of her enthusiasm and initiative and provided venues, speakers and various kinds of assistance.
Ms Ng organised a few outreach events for females into her graduating year. She then received a scholarship to pursue university studies in Japan, and is currently doing well as a trilingual actress (Twitter, Instagram, Agency Website)
In commemoration of the resurrection of a new team of PyLadiesSG and PyCon Singapore 2025, we got in touch with Ms Ng to find out how she has been getting on:
We thank Ms Ng for initiating the first chapter of PyLadiesSG while she was still a high school student (one is never too young to have a positive impact on others), and sincerely wish her all the best in her current and future endeavours in life.
