The World of Web Development

Since our little programmers already have experience with two block based coding languages, it's time to smoothly get into the world of actual programming by making a comparison with what they know. During the first level, the children enter the depth of concepts such as a "browser" and "development environment" and get familiar with the web-specific terms of programming. Our main focus at this level is to get the kids familiar with the browser technologies HTML and CSS and gain real self-esteem that they know what and how to do. Upon completing this level, the small programmers have all the necessary knowledge and skills to make a website on any topic they are interested in. To achieve better results, all lessons in the level are project-oriented. In this way, applying directly the theory they learn in practice, children reinforce their theoretical knowledge and understanding and lay the foundations, which are necessity for their future development.
