Get ready to take a step forward from HTML and CSS as the Grade 12 students of APEC Schools Ortigas Extension dive deep into the JavaScript language with Metacrafters! The Metacrafters event was held on April 25, 2023, together with the five selected Grade 12 students who took part in the activity under the supervision of the academic coordinator Ms. Jana De Jesus. The event focused on teaching additional coding skills to the students.
The event started at 9:00 AM in room 301. The busy students were getting ready for their coding sessions. These sessions focused on Javascript coding. Once the program started, they began watching tutorials that taught them the topic. This lasted until the end of their session. Different people have different things they want to achieve with their code, and the knowledge they gained from this program will help them in that pursuit. Some students created promotional materials utilizing the skills they learned to promote their businesses for the upcoming trade fair. Others, on the other hand, were primarily interested in expanding their understanding of JavaScript for use in future projects.
As we spoke with students, we discovered more about their motivations for joining Metacrafters. They told us the event helped them understand JavaScript from a beginner level all the way to complex coding step by step. From what we got regarding their personal goals and opinions on the event, they mostly wanted to make a huge improvement to help themselves for the future college courses that they will take. Out of the students who answered, however, one response stood out, saying that one of his future goals he plans to accomplish through participating in Metacrafters is to earn more cash by selling the website he encoded.
The event finally ended at 12:00 NN. The students were able to walk away with new skills and knowledge about the JavaScript language. The students say they were glad that this event was able to open new opportunities for them and allow them to be more familiar with using Javascript.
