Workshop Summary:
Our new Getting Started with Website Design and Development Workshop is a great way to introduce your pupils to coding. We'll focus on HTML, CSS and JavaScript throughout a full-day workshop. At the end of the day, they will have a working website, along with notes and support so they are equipped to design an online portfolio for their work, or other project.
HTML
HTML is the coding language that determines the structure of a website and the content. We’ll look at building a website that is responsive to different screen sizes, and we’ll show students how to build flexible layouts and format their code.
CSS
CSS determines what the website looks like. How big is the text? Do links get underlined? What colour is the background? How do the images look? We’ll spend time playing with the look and feel of the website, and focusing on design.
JavaScript
JavaScript is used to develop interactive elements for a website. We’ll take a look at some of the fundamentals behind JavaScript, developing some interactivity for their website.
Each school that books a coding workshop with us receives the source code after the workshop, allowing students to develop their work further after the session, with support from us. We’ll even upload their projects to the internet at the end of the day, so they can see them live, and share them with their family and friends!
Additional Information:
We can run these sessions in-school or online and all sessions are led by professional apps and games developers.
Testimonials:
“A Code Created Masterclass gave students the chance to grab their laptops and learn all about different types of coding projects and how to code them. Some pupils already had an impressive knowledge of some coding languages, but were keen to learn more. With complex algorithms, the class was challenging but interesting and students left with a more complete knowledge of how coding works.”
—Oxford Royale Academy
”The children really enjoyed their sessions with you and I think lots of them now want to do app design as a job! The children were all engaged and keen to listen and find out more. All of the teachers were also saying how fantastic the workshops were as well so thank you very much!”
—Abigail Jones (Downfield Primary and Nursery School, Hertfordshire)
”All students are continuing to play the game they created, and they’re very good at it! I hope from this experience that they will consider game design as a possible career path. It was important to me that they see the process behind the games they play and use their imaginations to create a game themselves.”
—Angelina Morello (Nightingale Community Academy, Tooting, London)
