Website Development (workshop for high school students and teachers)

ECU's School of Science is proud to offer this workshop for high school students and teachers interested in learning more about computing and coding. Join us and learn how to build your own website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as well as how to integrate AI in web development for improved productivity. During the day, students will begin by writing a basic webpage, then applying a coat of style to personalise it, and later completing it with custom JavaScript programming.

Bring a USB stick with you to take home a copy of your work. Please note that this workshop is a repeat of of the Jan 2024 offering.
