HTML/CSS 4 Teens (ages 13-16)

This course is currently unavailable. For information on our active Workshop courses, please visit this page: Spark4kids’ Workshop Courses

 

HTML/CSS 4 Teens is a 2-day, 3-day or 5-day, all-day computer coding workshop for teenagers aged 13-16 during which they will learn how to hand-code HTML and CSS by building a mini-website providing information on a topic of their choice. HTML and CSS are the two fundamental building blocks of all sites on the world-wide web, and this course covers the core fundamentals.

Teenagers aged 13-16 of all abilities are welcome, from beginners (who have never written a line of code) all the way through to those who may have a few years of coding experience. In addition to the course-ware and training materials, Spark4Kids will also provide lunch and healthy snacks.

Teenagers who have attended this workshop in the past can attend again if they enjoyed it the last time: we tailor the coding challenges to build upon topics covered in previous sessions (please indicate previous attendance in booking notes).

Activities

Using a just basic text editor, this practical hands-on coding workshop offers numerous coding topics and challenges to attempt, including:

• Learning the difference between HTML and CSS and what each is used for
• Understanding HTML and CSS document structures
• Linking style-sheets, document titles and lists
• Incorporating hyper-links (internal and external) and images
• Learning about CSS margins, padding, spaces, styling tricks, and class selection
• Review of CSS box model, navigation, menu’s, (CSS) hovering
• Covering core HTML tags introduced in GCSE Computer Science
• … And much more

At the end of the workshop, attendees will be able to show off their websites to friends and family. All attendees will also be provided with an online account and personal coding environment, where they will be able to continue computer coding in their own time.

 

Workshop Hours

The standard workshop hours are 10am to 4pm and attendees are expected to arrive just before 10am, and leave after 4pm.

 

 

Food and Snack Breaks

All children on all-day workshops will be offered lunch. Children may also bring in a packed lunch if they have special dietary requirements. Healthy snacks and refreshments will be available throughout the day.

Children booked on the Extended Day option (not available on all workshops) will be offered breakfast on arrival.

Each workshop day will be punctuated with breaks to ensure that the children take time away from computers/computer coding. Short walks and trips outdoors will be taken, however this will be dependent on the weather.

 

 

Sibling Discounts

We offer sibling discounts for families with more than one child enrolled with Spark4Kids. A discount of 10% is automatically deducted from the second child’s fees.

For term-time bookings, children looking to have double sessions during term-time are also offered a 10% discount off the second hour of the session. For workshop bookings, children who are booked on a second workshop also attract a 10% discount on the second workshop.

Discounts are automatically applied during the booking process if all courses are included in the same shopping basket and paid for at the same time. They do not apply if sessions for siblings or other multiple sessions are booked and paid for in separate transactions.
