Students gain a strong foundation in front-end web development and collaborative coding practices while experiencing an immersive pre-collegiate program at the University of Pennsylvania.
The Penn Arts and Sciences High School Programs Coding Academy offers a 3-week residential introduction to front-end web development. Students gain a strong foundation in creating useful and attractive web pages for both desktop and mobile devices. The curriculum covers Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) for structuring content, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for styling and layout, and JavaScript (JS) for dynamic functionality. Students also learn to use GitHub for collaborative code development and version control. Through instructor-led demonstrations, hands-on exercises, and team-based projects, participants build their own web pages and applications, culminating in a final project presentation. The program emphasizes practical skills and provides a foundation for those interested in technical careers or applying coding to other disciplines.
A typical day involves instructor-led demonstrations and explanations of key concepts, followed by hands-on in-class exercises to reinforce learning. Students collaborate on building webpages and web applications.
This program is ideal for bright and ambitious high school students in grades 9-11 with a minimum 3.3 GPA who are interested in an immersive introduction to front-end web development and experiencing an Ivy League campus.
