# Getting Started
# 🌱 Getting Started
> **Teachers**, we have [included some suggestions](for-teachers.md) on how to use this curriculum. We'd love your feedback [in our discussion forum](https://github.com/microsoft/Web-Dev-For-Beginners/discussions/categories/teacher-corner)!
> **[Students](https://aka.ms/student-page/?WT.mc_id=academic-77807-sagibbon)**, to fully benefit from this curriculum, we encourage you to fork the entire repository and engage in self-study. Start with a pre-lecture quiz and follow through with reading the lecture material and completing the various activities. Emphasize on comprehending the lessons rather than just copying the solution code. However, if needed, the solution code can be found in the */solutions folders* within each project-based lesson. Another great way to enhance your learning experience is to form a study group with your peers and work through the curriculum together. To further your education, we highly recommend exploring [Microsoft Learn](https://learn.microsoft.com/users/wirelesslife/collections/p1ddcy5jwy0jkm?WT.mc_id=academic-77807-sagibbon) for additional study materials..
## Pedagogy
## 🏫 Pedagogy
Our curriculum is designed with two key pedagogical principles in mind: project-based learning and frequent quizzes. The program teaches the fundamentals of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, as well as the latest tools and techniques used by today's web developers. Students will have the opportunity to develop hands-on experience by building a typing game, virtual terrarium, eco-friendly browser extension, space-invader-style game, and a banking app for businesses. By the end of the series, students will have gained a solid understanding of web development.
