🏫 Pedagogy

Our curriculum design get two major pedagogical principles wey dey mind:

• project-based learning
• frequent quizzes

Di program dey teach fundamentals of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, as well as di latest tools and techniques wey today's web developers dey use. Students go get chance to develop hands-on experience by building typing game, virtual terrarium, eco-friendly browser extension, space-invader-style game, and banking app for business. By end of di series, students go get solid understanding of web development.

🎓 You fit take di first few lessons inside this curriculum as Learn Path for Microsoft Learn!

By making sure say content match projects, di process dey more interesting for students and dem go remember di concepts better. We also write some starter lessons for JavaScript basics to introduce concepts, paired with video from "Beginners Series to: JavaScript" video tutorials collection, some authors for am help write dis curriculum.

Plus, low-stakes quiz before class set student intention to learn topic, while second quiz after class dey help retention. This curriculum design to be flexible and fun and students fit take am all or part. Projects start small and dey increase in complexity by end of 12-week cycle.

Even though we purposely no add JavaScript frameworks to focus on basic skills wey web developer need before e start to use framework, the next step after dis curriculum na to learn Node.js using another video collection: "Beginner Series to: Node.js".
