Welcome to Soft(ware) Steps
This is the first-of-its-kind course directed at making coding easier and more accessible to students as young as middle school. Up until now, programming has often been taught at the high school, if not college, level. Because of the increasingly important role Computer Science has and will play over the next several years, I believe that it is crucial that early access to programming is available. I created this course to help students get their foot in the door and realize that programming is not a career path, but rather a tool used to help them in whatever they are passionate about.
In this 8-week course, students will learn the foundational programming concept. Once these are taught, students will be fully capable of creating a well-rounded project with HTML and CSS. Students will use an editor to build and run their code. By the end of the course, students will have foundational knowledge in HTML and CSS. Through this course, students will have the opportunity to engage with fellow peers, lead discussions, and build projects.
