Moving away from the screen, students will engage in hands-on physics and structural design challenges, learning how real-world engineering concepts solve everyday problems.
Introduction to Web Design
Students will learn the basics of HTML and CSS, understanding how the internet works by building and styling their own personalized web page.
The Capstone Project
Students will combine everything they've learned to build a final project (a more complex game or functional website) which they will present at the end of the program to demonstrate their new skills.
