Hello UX
User Experience Design, commonly called UX Design, encompasses all aspects of a user's interaction with a company, its services, and its products. UX designers prioritize the needs of users and create solutions through empathy. So when UX designers help design a product or service for a company, we’re constantly asking ourselves: who are that company’s users? What do the users want to achieve? What obstacles stand in their way? And how can we minimize those obstacles and make the experience of our users a positive one?

Hello Front-End Web Development (FEWD)
Front-end web developers write the code that turns a static mockup into an interactive web page. In this workshop, we’ll take a look at the types of code front-end developers write, and even try it out ourselves. But before we do that, let’s take a closer look at the term front-end. Front-end developers are sometimes referred to as client-side developers, since everything we code is directly viewable by the client–in other words, the visitor to our website or app.

Learn to Code for Beginners
This Track will give you an overview of various programming languages and disciplines that are essential to a career in the industry. You'll get an introduction to Computer Science, User Experience (UX) Design, Front-End Web Development and fundamental concepts of modern programming languages like Python and JavaScript.
This Track is ideal for someone who's ready to dive in but isn't sure where to start. All the workshops are well-suited for a true beginner, no matter your background. Knowing the basics of each will help you figure out which field to study and a career path that works best for you!
You'll start this Track with a workshop introducing you to fundamental Computer Science (CS) concepts, including the history of computer science, key terms, and common elements across multiple disciplines.
Next, you'll learn about User Experience (UX) design and get to know UX's role in the world around us. Then, learn about the distinct roles of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in web development while building a small project using HTML and CSS.
The next step in your coding journey is establishing a foundation in JavaScript. You'll get an introduction to Full Stack JavaScript along with the concepts of "front-end" and "back-end" development and start writing JavaScript to make changes to web pages.
Once you're familiar with JavaScript, you'll learn how Python differs from other programming languages, then dive into writing Python code and creating your first small program.
