Part how-to, part fun-learning, this hands-on workshop designed by three girls who Design, Code and Deploy in the real world, is an invitation to the wonderful world of software development.
Targeted to kids, from 9 to 15 years old, who may have never looked at the code behind their favorite website, have or wish they had a blog, have coded, or are just interested in understanding the buzz, this workshop, has them itching to create their own website and learn how to make the world a better place.
