About this workshop

Building on the foundations introduced in September, students will move from learning the basics to creating and exploring more meaningful technology projects.

Beginner students will expand their first webpage into a structured personal website using HTML headings, paragraphs, lists, links, and images. Advanced students will take the next step in their Artificial Intelligence journey by exploring the data behind AI, using real datasets and beginner Python to identify patterns and connect evidence to real-world problems.

Whether returning from September or joining us for the first time, students will have the opportunity to code, explore, build, analyze, and create.

Materials Provided FREE

Black Boys Code will provide all workshop learning materials and structured instruction FREE of charge, including:

  • Coding and project activities
  • Student workbooks and guided exercises
  • HTML and web development resources
  • Python and data exploration activities
  • AI Idea Journal and project-planning resources
  • Instructor support throughout the workshop

No previous coding experience or personal equipment is required.

Come ready to build the web, explore data, solve problems, and turn your ideas into technology!

Beginner students will turn their first webpage into a complete personal website. Using HTML and EduBlocks, they’ll build About Me, Interests, and Favourites sections with headings, paragraphs, lists, links, and images. Along the way, they’ll learn how tags and attributes like href, src, and alt work, and how to spot and fix common coding mistakes. Every student leaves with a stronger version of their own website, which they’ll keep developing throughout the Technology Year.

Advanced students continue their Artificial Intelligence journey by exploring the foundation of every AI system: data. Using Python and Google Colab, they’ll inspect real datasets, uncover patterns and averages, and identify missing information. Students will also consider the responsible side of AI, asking important questions about privacy, fairness, bias, and who might be left out of the data. Most importantly, they’ll connect their findings to the real-world problem from their AI Idea Journal, preparing them for upcoming workshops in data visualization, machine learning, and AI project development.
