Elementary School Classes
Children in elementary school have fun designing and developing webpages in HTML and CSS. Learning to code also helps them build typing skills and provides an introduction to computational thinking.
Kids move from block-based to text-based programming in this class and learn how to design and build their very own websites. After learning the structure of websites in HTML, like the div tag, image tag, and header tag, students then apply CSS styling, like color, backgrounds, and animations, to customize their own webpages.
Students build more complex websites with HTML and CSS in this class and add interactivity in JavaScript. They will code websites that are functional and beautiful. Students get to personalize themes, graphics, and designs on their web projects.

Kids in middle school start coding with HTML and CSS to build their own websites with personalized designs and animations. Taking a coding class is a great way to develop analytical thinking and problem solving skills.
Children can learn how to design and develop their own websites using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. In this class, students use CSS styling, like color and size, to add their creative touches to webpages built in HTML. By the end of the course, students will have a strong understanding and foundation for web development.
Kids in this class learn how to create stunning, interactive websites utilizing tools like jQuery, Ajax, flexbox, CSS, API interfaces, and cookies in addition to standard HTML and CSS. This is an intermediate class where students produce useful web applications as well as a portfolio-quality final project utilizing interfaces to several popular applications.

Commonly asked questions about learning HTML / CSS.
What is HTML & CSS for kids?
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is a programming language that defines the structure and elements of a website.
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a programming language that formats HTML elements and adds styles to a website.
HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are the building blocks of every webpage. In fact, the first website ever launched in 1991 was written in HTML. For many developers, HTML and CSS were the first languages they learned because of their popularity and simplicity.
How do I teach HTML and CSS?
There are an abundance of resources for teaching HTML/CSS to children. Start with your child’s age and interests. You can choose from coding books, tutorials, videos, or coding classes. There are free and paid options at all levels, but using a free coding resource is a good way to dip your toe in and see if your child is interested.
Is HTML and CSS easy to learn?
HTML and CSS are two of the easiest languages to learn for kids and beginners. The syntax is simple and you can easily view the output in your browser. Unlike backend languages like Python and Java, you do not need to download any packages or run your code through a server, so it’s very easy to get started.
What should I learn first, HTML or CSS?
We advise learning HTML first. It will help kids build a foundation for how a site is structured and interpreted by a browser. A CSS file is added to an HTML page in order to format and style features of the HTML like color and size. Without an HTML page, the CSS code will have no effect.
