Fall 2024 class offerings
Each course will meet either in-person at Hyland’s Headquarters in Westlake, Ohio, or virtually via Zoom. Club goes from 5–7:30 p.m. EDT on Tuesday evenings from September 17 to December 10.
Important Note: Unfortunately, we will not be offering Web 102 virtually this semester.
Web 101: Introduction to HTML and CSS
This course covers the basics of web development, introducing static webpages and styles. By the end of the semester, students will be able to create their own webpages using the HTML language to build structure, and the CSS language to add style.
Web 102: Intro to JavaScript
This course introduces the basics of JavaScript. Students will learn fundamental programming topics like variables, input/output, functions, conditionals and loops. By the end of the semester, they will be able to build their own interactive website!
Web 103: Advanced JavaScript
This course expands on the material from Web 102 and dives deeper into JavaScript concepts. Students will learn about objects, data, functional programming, asynchronous execution and more! By the end of the semester, students should be able to create an advanced website that connects to an external API and dynamically updates based on real, live information.
Since I started Hy-Tech Club, I have learned so much about coding. The curriculum is easy to learn from and the instructors are great to work with.
Application guidelines
Parents and guardians should fill out this application on behalf of students under the age of 18 (or 19 in Alabama or Nebraska).* Please be sure to answer questions accurately on behalf of the student. Correspondence to applicants will be coming from [email protected]. Please make sure to check your spam folders and add [email protected] to your address book to avoid any missed communication.
Which course is best?
We recommend new students take Web 101, unless they already have moderate experience with HTML & CSS. Students who do not have JavaScript experience may consider taking Web 102. Students with a solid foundation of programming skills may be considered for Web 103.
Applications are now closed.
* Please note this website is not intended to be used by children under the age of 13.
Required resources for virtual students
Internet
It's recommended to make sure to have a reliable internet connection.
Laptop, desktop PC or Chromebook
A Chromebook screen may make it difficult to watch the Zoom meeting and code at the same time. A second device may be recommended in order to do both at the same time.
Microphone and webcam
If students don't have a microphone attached to their computer, they are required to connect to audio via phone. Students will be required to have a webcam turned on during the meeting. If they do not have one, Hyland can provide one for them.
