This summer’s 4th Annual Web Development Workshop “How to Look Cool Online” (HTLCO) generated an array of website’s reflecting our participants’ ethnic cultural backgrounds. Every year’s websites are reviewed by a panel of experts and this year’s HTLCO cohort really impressed the team.
HTLCO is a paid opportunity that introduces simple coding to students with little to no coding background. Prior to the workshop, many incoming students had negative experiences with coding in the past, or fears about diving in. By the time they left the workshop, all expressed a significant increase in confidence towards coding.
