FREE Workshop | Build an Interactive Website with JavaScript

As one of the most popular and most versatile programming languages out there today, it’s safe to say that JavaScript is a staple in the toolkit of a successful software engineer.

This free, 2-hour class is the perfect place to review and expand your existing JavaScript knowledge and apply it to a real website. (Don’t have existing JavaScript knowledge yet? Make sure to Learn the Basics before attending this class.) Learn how to define, access, and manipulate the DOM and how to program a website to change in response to user actions.

By the end of this workshop, you’ll have a fully functional website made with HTML, CSS and JavaScript that you can add to your portfolio. Don’t miss our final workshop next week where we’ll dive into a new language, covering the basics of Python, then you’ll Write Your First Python Script. We’ll see you there.

You’ll leave this workshop knowing:

• The role Javascript plays in web development
• How to define, access, and manipulate the DOM using Javascript to make a website interactive
• How to program the content and appearance of a website to change in response to user actions

• If you’re new to JavaScript, make sure to Learn the Basics before attending this class.
• If you plan to participate live, make sure you have a free Codepen account
• A recording will be shared after the series so you can review the content anytime.
• Your mic and camera will be off for the duration of the workshop.
• Interact with your instructor and fellow classmates through the Chat and Q&A.

Taylor is a full-stack software engineer, full-time human, STEM educator, music maniac, mindfulness student, and change agent. Her trauma-informed, neurodiverse teaching approach focuses on deconstructing her students' self-limiting beliefs so they can experience more empowerment and curiosity in their studies.

Taylor truly believes everyone can learn if given the right support, having taught non-traditional/returning students, undergraduates at universities across the globe, folks returning to the work force after incarceration, elementary schoolers, and degree-holding residents of the middle-east. Taylor actively challenges the traditional professional environment, constantly advocating for a radically inclusive and holistic approach to both work and education. Her style supports a broad range of neurotypes, cultural, educational, and professional experiences.

When she's not teaching coding, you can find her hiking in the mountains, moshing at concerts, teaching yoga/meditation, and always with a furry friend by her side.
