HTML Intro 4 Kids (ages 8-12)

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

 

HTML Intro 4 Kids is a computer coding workshop for children aged 8-12 where attendees will build their first public-facing website, accessible over the internet.

Kids aged 8-12 of all abilities are welcome, from beginners (who have never written a line of code) all the way through to kids who have prior coding experience. Children 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).

This is an all-inclusive workshop, with Spark4Kids providing everything from the software and hardware that the children will use, to lunch and healthy snacks – just drop your child off in the morning, and pick them up at the end of the fun-filled, workshop day.

Activities

On this workshop, the children will learn the basics of web development, including web page structure, linking and HTML. They will build a dedication page on a topic of their own choosing, continually deploying their websites to the internet as new features are added.

Recent examples of such dedication websites include topics such as types of precious stone, books/reading, Minecraft, cookery, travel, science, nature and outdoors, computers, music, photography, games, sports cars, and football. As part of the workshop, there will be a section dedicated to teaching the children about basic internet safety.

On completion of the workshop, each child’s dedication page will have a unique web address where family and friends will be able to view the website the child created.

The workshop is designed to keep the kids engaged throughout the day. There will be sufficient breaks to ensure that the children spend some time away from the computer and weather permitting, there will also be breaks outdoors.

The focus is on creating a fun and supportive environment in which children learn about various aspects of technology and coding.

 

Workshop Hours

The standard workshop hours are 10am to 4pm and children are expected to be dropped off just before 10am, and picked up promptly at 4pm.

Where the Extended Day option is available for booking, parents can arrange to drop off their children from 8:30am onwards, with late pick-up lasting until 5pm. There is an additional £10 per day per child for this option, which is available for selection during the booking process.

Please note that the “Extended Day” option is currently not available on all workshops.

 

 

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.
