Remembering the project:
The Alpha EdTech Project seeks to train young people in technology, regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation or ethnicity, possibly in a vulnerable situation, providing access to opportunities for effective social mobility, through education aligned with the needs of IT professionals in companies .
The general objective is to generate social mobility, providing training opportunities for young talents (in vulnerable situations) interested in this area of professional relevance, specifically information technologies.
Over the past few months, students have engaged in a series of carefully planned activities designed to apply knowledge gained in the classroom and establish valuable connections with experienced professionals in the dynamic programming market. During these collaborative meetings with industry experts, students have the opportunity to participate in practical activities and exercises that use the specific programming languages learned throughout the course.
These interactions with industry professionals provide an enriching environment where students can not only consolidate their theoretical knowledge, but also apply it in a practical and relevant way for the job market. The activities proposed during these sessions range from coding challenges to more comprehensive projects that address the topics discussed in the meetings.
As a result of this integrated process of learning and practice, students have developed a series of exciting projects using various programming languages. These projects not only demonstrate students' technical mastery, but also reflect their ability to articulate and apply complex concepts in creative and innovative ways.
The topics covered in classes for project development were:
1 - Hard Skills - Tags and their attributes - Form: Part 2 - Select, Button, Textarea (user interaction).
Description: At this meeting, the creation of forms for user interaction was discussed using the select, button and textarea tags. The students used their new knowledge in HTML to create a form that communicates effectively with the user about its fields.
2 - Hard Skills - Introduction to CSS - The different ways to style your HTML.
Description: In these classes, students explored initial contact with using CSS to modify colors, positions and backgrounds of elements in our HTML, understanding the order of priority between their different ways of being included and the basic syntax to implement it.
3 - Hard Skills - CSS Selectors: Part 1 - The importance of the "Class" and "ID" attributes.
Description: In these meetings, CSS selectors were explored, which are essential for selectively applying styles to elements on a web page. CSS selectors allow you to target elements based on their attributes, classes, IDs or position in the document structure, enabling the creation of specific styles for each element or group of elements.
4 - Soft Skills - Knowing the area of activity and the technical and behavioral skills required of a professional developer.
Description: The topics covered were problem-solving skills, teamwork, communication and continuous learning.
5 - Hard Skills - My first HTML.
Description: In this class, a markup language known as HTML (HyperText Markup Language) was presented.
At this meeting, the environment where we found the use of HTML files (the web and browsers) and how to structure it, as well as its use in the web application (CodePen) to create and be able to visualize changes in real time was introduced.
