    Webpages are almost everywhere we look. Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes to build them?

    In this engaging course we will explore the fundamentals of web development code! Students will be introduced to web development programming languages and will build fun projects to implement what they have learned. This course will focus on HTML and CSS and will lightly touch on Javascript’s role in web development.

    Join us as we explore:

    • HyperText Markup Language 
    • Headings and Lists
    • Text Formatting and Fonts
    • Internal and External Links 
    • Cascading Stylesheets 
    • Big picture on the role of Javascript
    • And more!
