🏫 Pedagogy

Our curriculum design get two main pedagogy principles:

• project-based learning
• frequent quizzes

Di program teach di fundamentals of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, plus di newest tools and techniques wey web developers today dey use. Students go get chance to build hands-on experience by building typing game, virtual terrarium, eco-friendly browser extension, space-invader-style game, and banking app for businesses. By di end of di series, students go sabi well well about web development.

🎓 You fit take first few lessons for dis curriculum as a Learn Path for Microsoft Learn!

By making sure content dey align with projects, processes go dey more interesting for students and concept retention go stronger. We also write small starter lessons on JavaScript basics to introduce concepts, plus one video from "Beginners Series to: JavaScript" video tutorials, some authors for the curriculum self.

Plus, one low-stakes quiz before class set mind for student to learn topic, then second quiz after class to make sure retention. This curriculum design make e flexible and fun, fit take all or part. Projects dey start small and grow more complex as di 12-week cycle dey end.

Even though we no put JavaScript frameworks to focus on basic skills wey web developer must get before dem start framework, next step after dis curriculum fit be to learn Node.js with other videos: "Beginner Series to: Node.js".
