This 4 day class is for participants who have very little or no programming experience. Now is the perfect time to learn to code! In this beginner-friendly class, we will learn the foundations of coding by creating fun interactive visuals, develop an intuition for navigating software, and by shaping our creative expression to match with a computer’s expectations. This is a hands-on, project-based class. By taking this class you will learn basic knowledge of JavaScript, HTML and CSS, and take with you a bunch of code you wrote that can serve as a springboard to continue learning and creating. You’ll also have daily email support contact with the instructor while class is in session. Participants should come to class with a laptop (PC, Mac or Linux) pre-installed with Google Chrome and Sublime Text (free software).
