Description
The IT Kidz Code Clubs are after school computer clubs Online. In this Code Club we will be introducing the children to the concept of Web Design, by teaching them how to code in HTML and CSS, the finished project from this code club with be a Website by the children for their friends and families published online.
HTML & CSS are the foundation of the web, and as such are excellent first programming languages to learn, and will pave the way to making learning languages such as JavaScript, PHP, and Ruby a whole lot easier.
Learning HTML and CSS help children visualise and articulate abstract ideas effectively. In this way, a child finds it easy to employ arithmetic to tackle and solve real-world problems. Also maths starts to become fun and interesting every day.
