A new free course teaches web development by building a public portfolio site with GitHub Pages and AI. Students learn HTML, CSS, and JavaScript through hands-on projects, not isolated theory. The program emphasizes professional workflows, from local development to publishing, mirroring real-world tech environments.

The curriculum targets beginners in design, engineering, or computer science, requiring no prior coding experience. It blends technical skills like version control with cognitive abilities like planning and debugging. Crucially, it frames AI as a learning assistant, not a shortcut, teaching responsible use for problem-solving and code analysis.

Students follow a six-module journey: foundations, code understanding, planning, workflow, creation, and feedback. The final deliverable is a live, multi-page website. This approach aims to create confident creators who understand digital systems, moving beyond passive tech consumption to active creation in an AI-driven landscape.
