Why Offer a Web Design Course?
57% of US on-line teens report that they created content for the internet
75% of US high schools offer at least one Web design/development course
The goal is to empower students to create with technology and develop new abilities
Encourage students to become tool-builders in addition to expert tool-users

Web Design & Development as a Door
Today’s students are the “net-gen” and want to express themselves online
Web design/development appeals to a broader spectrum of students than programming
We have the opportunity to help students expand their problem-solving skills – skills to use cutting-edge tools and create new original and innovative designs
Web design can be a first step to more advanced technology and CS courses
