Orange Belt: Web Development

In the Orange Belt, students step into the world of web development, design, and interactivity. They begin by learning the foundations of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to build websites, games, and interactive projects. Along the way, they explore photography, graphic design, UI/UX principles, CSS animations, and web hosting—gaining the full experience of what it means to create and launch digital content. Each sprint builds technical skills while encouraging creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork.

With AI-infused learning, students are introduced to the concept of vibe coding and learn how large language models (LLMs) can assist in web development. They practice writing clear natural language prompts to generate HTML/CSS, apply AI-generated code to improve their designs, and rebuild projects such as their “Gallery Portfolio” with AI assistance. Throughout the belt, students also reflect on how AI can accelerate and inspire creative projects while learning to balance their own problem-solving skills with AI-powered collaboration. By the end of the Orange Belt, students will showcase their growth as developers and designers through a final project that highlights their ability to blend coding, creativity, and AI innovation.
