Just Code It!, hosted by Women in Information and Computer Sciences (WICS) at UC Irvine, focuses on providing a fun and engaging introduction to coding! Our free program will guide students in understanding the fundamentals of coding, and we will be teaching the students basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and how to apply these skills to develop simple websites and web apps.
It is geared toward middle school girls who are interested in exploring the Computer Science and Technology field. We hope that through this program, students will learn useful programming skills and get the chance to explore an interest in computer science. We hope to see you there!

Curriculum
This program is focused around covering the fundamentals of Web Development, so we will be teaching HTML, CSS, and basic JavaScript and Boot Strap. The emphasis, however, will be on how to efficiently combine the three topics to build complex and intricate projects, such as websites, games, and more!
The first three days of the program will be thorough introductions to HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Boot Strap. During each session, we will also be presenting coding challenges that incorporate and reinforce the topics being taught. The final sessions will be a project day, where the students will get time to build their own project from scratch, combining everything they have learnt so far. At the end of the last day, the students will present their projects to everyone!
​
Day 1: Introduction to HTML & CSS
Day 2: Introduction to Javascript
Day 3: Introduction to Boot Strap
Day 4: Project Day!
​
NOTE:
We will be using an online editor to write all our code, so the students will be able to take their projects home.
