Our HTML&CSS Course is project-based - students learn by working on hands-on projects. Each project is broken into weekly milestones.
Thursday: Introduce new concepts and the next milestone
Thursday - Tuesdays: Students work on their milestone
Tuesdays: Students present their milestones in the Coaching Session
Projects
Contains all course projects. Includes weekly milestones.
Lessons
In the GitHub repo, you find in every milestone folder a lesson.md for each week. It contains guidelines on how to teach the session.
Student Hub
Student-facing documentation, tutorials, and concept explanations. Students use this as their main reference.
Further Material
Slide decks from previous semesters.
Regular Class
Use lesson.md to teach new concepts. The file explains how to approach the session, what topics to cover, and how you can introduce the concepts with an example. You find the lesson.md files in the respective milestone folders in GitHub.
At the end of each Regular Class, we introduce the students to the next milestone (what students work on until next Tuesday). Milestone README.md outlines the next project milestone.
Coaching Session
No teaching is needed. Focused on reviewing student work and providing feedback.
Reviewing the milestoneREADME.mdt helps to understand what the milestone contains students are working on.
GitHub: You can find all files in our . Do you see the lessons and teacher guides?

Student Hub: The student hub is the "knowledge base" for the students where they find extra resources about the concepts being covered in the course. It is currently under construction. We will share it with you soon!
You are free to change the material as you like! If you believe slides are needed to explain a concept, do it! If you would explain a concept differently, go for it.
We know the material is not perfect! For sure, parts are not so clear and can be improved. Please help us to improve it further! If something is unclear or missing - feel free to add it! Thanks to your contribution, we can improve the material in the future!
We share several best practices in the Course Content section. For example, the concept of "How little is enough?" or the "I Do, We Do, You Do" methodology. In the end, it is your decision how you want to teach it. We recommend to browse through the concepts before teaching a session: Course Content.
That was a lot of content! Thanks for staying with us. Let's complete the self-onboarding in the next page: Complete your Self-Onboarding.
We have additional resources from previous semesters, including slide decks, exercises, etc., linked in .
Further explanations and resources are shared with the students via the .
Prior Material?
If you taught in the past semester at ReDI, you might have existing material you would like to reuse. That is fantastic! Let's update the repository for this course with your material. Please add the content in the repo in the right milestone. If you have Google Slides, please link them to the lesson or teacher guide files. You can also reach out to Julian on Slack or via email (julian@redi-school.org) for further questions on how to add or use prior material.
