An Introduction to HTML and CSS Workshop

What is this?

An introductory hands-on course for those who want to learn how to build websites with HTML and CSS.

HTML and CSS are the building blocks of every website.

HTML is used to describe the content of a site. For example, this very paragraph is described in HTML.

CSS is used to style websites. All of the color and fonts, like this sentence that you see on this site is described in CSS.

Together, they can be used to build functional and beautiful websites. If you’ve ever wondered how websites were made and how you can make your own, now is the time to learn!

When and where is this happening?

Please be on time. We suggest that you plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before the event starts as it may take you time to locate the venue. For security reasons, we will have to tag you into the building. As such, we cannot allow entry for latecomers.

Is this for me?

Yes! You do not need previous coding or design experience, just bring yourself, a laptop and enthusiasm to learn. This class is suitable for beginners and would be ideal for secondary school and pre-university students.

We do ask that participants be at least 13 years old of age to join this class.
