C14682: Introduction to Web Development in Splash 2021 (Nov. 20 - 21, 2021)
Have you ever wondered how a website is created? Do you want to make your own personal website to show your friends and family? This is a perfect class for you! You will leave this class with a website fully working online! We will learn about how the internet works, the basics of HTML/CSS/JavaScript, and a simple way to deploy your website so anyone in the world can view your amazing website. This class is for first-time web developers. If you have built a website before, this class might not be useful for you.


C14080: Game Design and Development with Minecraft and Java in HSSP Summer 2020 (Jul. 11, 2020)
Learn the essentials of game design and apply that knowledge by creating Minecraft plugins (read: minigames like SkyBlock and other cool features) through the Java programming language! Discover how popular servers keep players hooked and learn programming skills needed to make sheeps explode on contact; the sky’s the limit! No knowledge of Minecraft plugin development required; just come with a copy of Minecraft Java Edition, basic Java programming skills, and creativity! NOTE: This is a very fast-paced class that will go over a lot of material fairly quickly. You will be expected to be able to work and communicate in small teams, and you will be creating basic Java plugins by the end of essentially every class. If this sounds like too much work, this class might not be for you. Otherwise, welcome and we look forward to hearing all the creative ideas you come up with and playing a lot of fun games together! We strongly encourage underrepresented groups (e.g. females) to apply!
