an Information Communications Technology Program
ScoutHack offers a few courses and some events for Youth Members to build skills and get support from a safe and friendly coding community.
These courses are run throughout the year at locations that provide sufficient infrastructure.
Web(site) Dev(elopment) 1.0 instructs Participants on the basics of
websites. Walk through demonstrations of HTML, CSS, Python, and some JavaScript provide
youth members with a toolkit to build simple static sites that allow simple information
systems to be created and managed in a real world capacity.
Dev(elopment) Op(eration)s 1.0 teaches Participants to
manage
computer information systems that support applications such as websites and mobile apps.
They learn system administration and digital security fundamentals that help build
better systems and deliver better services. It introduces navigation of the Linux
Command Line Interface (CLI), server administration tools, and cloud
computing.
Registrants should participate in WebDev 1.0, or have already
created their own static website prior to this course.
Web(site) Dev(elopment) 2.0 extends the basics of website
construction and introduces templating and Content Management System's (CMS).
Participants are walked through breaking out their website files to make the site easier
to manage, and provides instruction for using Django and Wordpress to create quality information systems.
While we make every effort for courses to be accessible to all skill levels, we
do have courses that require participation in previous courses. This is to ensure that the course is
relevant and able to be completed by attendees without feeling lost or unskilled.
Course
progression is stepped through the order listed below, from left to right. This ensures that
participants have the skills needed to comfortably complete the next course. Participants can enter
at any level, provided they have the tools to complete the level accordingly. This can be
demonstrated by sharing a personal project with the Course Leaders to demonstrate competency and
ensure value for money for the next course.
