Course Description

In the Wizard Level 3 Capstone course, the final course of the middle school program, students apply what they’ve learned to build a sophisticated multiplayer game. Capstone courses are a chance to be more creative and independent while building a more extensive application. Students must leverage their HTML, CSS, and JavaScript skills to create an engaging user experience. They’ll develop a custom API to communicate between the front-end and back-end of their game. Finally, they’ll model and manipulate the game’s data through a relational database. After completing this course, students graduate from the middle school program and enter Professional Web App Development, the second course in Wizard Level 2 of our high school program.
