About this Event

Why learn HTML & CSS?

If you are looking to get your feet wet when it comes to coding, then this is the workshop for you. HTML and CSS are the backbone of all websites, and knowledge of them is a necessity if you are interested in things like web development, creating marketing emails, or even blogging! The web without HTML and CSS would be a world without colourful, pretty websites, not to mention the web applications we all use daily. It’s easy to learn, and was designed so that everyone - even non-programmers - can do it. No fancy programs are needed, just a web browser!

This workshop is designed to be a hands-on experience. During the session, you’ll learn:

Basic techniques and concepts that are translatable to other programming languages
The building blocks of how HTML and CSS work together to create richer online experiences
How to create a website with images and a CSS-defined layout
What resources are available if you’d like to continue learning at home (and we think you will)

Who is this for?

“I’m curious about tech and code in general”
“I am a complete beginner when it comes to coding”
“I have some coding skills but I’m looking to try my hand at something new!”
“I have financial barriers that make it hard to pay for classes and training”
“I’m not sure if I belong in tech— I wish I saw more people like me leading this industry!”

This event is open to all adults 18+, designed in a way that seeks to explicitly welcome people with underrepresented genders—this includes cis women, trans women, trans men, non-binary people, and others who are marginalized because of their gender identity or expression.

We believe that addressing the gender gap in tech is just one part of building digital equity. A more just and equitable future for technology in Canada means building programming that supports, empowers, and equips all learners who historically have been—and continue to be—underrepresented in tech, particularly Black, Indigenous and other Racialized learners, people in low-income communities and newcomer learners.

If this sounds like you, we can’t wait to have you learn with us.
