Project - Create Your Homepage
Students build their own websites about themselves. This site will be accessible on their own custom domain and will be continually improved by the student as they continue on in the course. It will serve as a running portfolio of each creative project they create in the course. |

Introduction to Javascript in HTML
Students learn about the script tag, and how it can be used to write JavaScript code in their HTML files. Students will also be introduced to useful JavaScript methods that can be used to alter the state of the CSS and HTML of a webpage, as well as how the Document Object Model supports the ability to make such changes. |

Using JavaScript Libraries
Students are introduced to jQuery, a JavaScript library that makes webpage interaction easier. Students will learn the basic syntax of jQuery, how to incorporate it in their webpages, and useful methods that help animate and change the responsiveness of their websites. |

Project: Build an Interactive Resume!

Storing and Collecting Data
Students explore the role that data plays in creating websites.

How to Build and Maintain a Website

Project - Iterate Your Web Development

Computer Science Careers
Students take some time to explore and discover different computer science careers and professional student organizations. They will also examine inclusive coding and how to avoid bias in computer programming. |
