Design. Build. Style. Launch.

Students do not just learn about the internet—they build for it. Through three integrated units covering UI/UX design, HTML/CSS development, and physical computing with App Lab, students experience the full web development process from concept sketch to working web page.

UI/UX Design Foundations

Students learn design terminology, differentiate UI from UX, create wireframes and high-fidelity mockups, and apply responsive design principles.

HTML/CSS Web Development

From internet history to semantic markup, students build and style functional web pages using HTML, CSS, fonts, colors, links, lists, tables, and media elements.

Physical Computing Integration

Using Code.org’s micro:bit Educator Kit and App Lab, students design apps that connect digital interfaces to physical inputs and outputs.

Capstone Web Projects

Students create a mood board, wireframe, and high-fidelity mockup in the design unit, then build a complete Green Team Website using HTML and CSS.

What Students Will Do

From their first wireframe sketch to their first live web page, students experience every phase of professional web development—research, design, build, style, test, and present.

Create wireframes and high-fidelity design mockups
Build structured web pages using semantic HTML markup
Style pages with CSS—colors, fonts, layouts, and responsive grids
Embed images, video, and media from external sources
Design apps in Code.org App Lab with buttons, text, images, and sound
Build physical computing prototypes that integrate digital and physical inputs

From Vision to Digital Experience—The Skills Behind Every Website and App

The Tech Explorers: Web Development program teaches students that every website, app, and digital experience they interact with was designed and built by someone with the skills they are about to learn. Through forty-five class periods of design thinking, HTML/CSS coding, and physical computing, students develop the creative and technical foundations that connect to careers across every digital industry.

Students explore how web development supports professionals in fields such as:

• Front-end web development and UI engineering

• User experience (UX) design and research

• Digital marketing and content management

• App development and mobile design

• Graphic design and interactive media

They do not just browse the web. They build it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What grade levels is this program designed for?

Tech Explorers: Web Development is designed for Grades 6–8. The design-first approach makes it accessible even for students with no prior coding experience.

Do students need coding experience?

No. The curriculum starts with visual design concepts—terminology, wireframing, and mockups—then introduces HTML and CSS gradually. Students learn by building, not by memorizing syntax.

What devices do students need?

Standard classroom computers or Chromebooks with browser access. Mastery Coding, Code.org App Lab, and HTML/CSS editing all work in web browsers. micro:bit connects via USB.

How does this differ from the Game Development program?

Web Development focuses on design thinking, UI/UX, and HTML/CSS—the skills behind every website and app. Game Development focuses on JavaScript programming, game mechanics, and interactive game design. Together they cover front-end development comprehensively.

Can this program serve more than twenty-four students?

Yes. The Mastery Coding license supports multiple sections of students. Additional Code.org micro:bit kits can be purchased separately for larger programs.

Will students have a portfolio piece at the end?

Yes. The Green Team Website capstone project gives every student a complete, functional web page they have designed and coded from scratch—a tangible portfolio piece they can show teachers, parents, and peers.
