Do you have a teen who loves technology—or one who’s curious about how apps and websites really work? What if they could spend a day in the life of a developer and discover what really happens behind the screen? In this unique workshop, they’ll have the chance to do exactly that.
Students will explore the modern process of building software and gain hands-on experience in the core practices of DevOps—the same approach today’s top companies use to create and deliver apps—working directly in GitHub, the world’s #1 developer platform with over 180 million users. They’ll learn how to:
  • Plan work like real software teams do
  • Write and share code as part of a collaborative project
  • Use AI as a coding copilot to boost creativity and problem-solving
  • Build, test, and deploy software in a safe, guided environment
  • Document and monitor their work to support ongoing improvement
 By the end of the workshop, students will understand how ideas turn into working apps, develop valuable teamwork and problem-solving skills, and take their first steps into a field that offers both creativity and career opportunities.
This class is for 9th – 12th grade students and will take place on Thursday May 7th from 10:30am – 12:40pm
