Spring 2025 Course Offerings

Each course will meet either in-person at Hyland’s Headquarters in Westlake, Ohio. Club goes from 5–7:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday evenings from February 25 through May 20.

Important Note: Unfortunately, we will not be offering virtual courses 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!

Software Development Capstone

This course gives students the opportunity to work on one long-term project for the entirety of the semester. There may be some instructor-led lessons scattered throughout the course, but most of the time will be spent working individually or as teams to build software applications. By the end of the semester, each team should have a final project to present.

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.

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 Capstone.
