Do you have students who are interested in web design?  The Apply Coding module in our STEM EDA curriculum is a great introduction to basic web development!

After an introduction to HTML and CSS basics, students are tasked with rebuilding a website from a blank canvas after a cyber attack has taken down the company’s site. Adding this scenario as context allows students to explore current cyber issues as they build foundations in coding and developing basic understanding of the languages and skills needed to build and edit websites. Within the modules, helpful figures and screenshots guide students as they dive into the world of code.

As with all other STEM EDA modules, Apply Coding follows the Engineering Design Process to help students practice systematically finding a solutions to problems while engaging their creativity.
