Middle and high school students are invited to build coding skills as they create a website using HTML.

Each day of the workshop builds on the other, so please sign up expecting to attend all three sessions. A small amount of “homework” will be expected between sessions. Space is limited. Sign up now at: http://bit.ly/SPL-webforteens
