We'll take the approach of putting one facilitator with 3 pairs of students, the facilitator to take their pairs through a series of activities based around building a website and using GitHub pages to host it. We should be able to cover everything with each facilitator taking a half day sift at some point over Thursday and Friday, and the schedule for each day is provisionally as follows:
- Introduction; H&S announcements, pairing up and straight on to...
- Get doing something; 4ups & start designing a website using them, with basic layout from our template as a guide. Provide some suggestions in case they hit writer's block.
- Get started - create a github account and paste our sample site into it
- Add your content and start styling with Bootstrap
- UX Chat
- Lunch & Tour of Office
- Javascript
- Using jquery to respond to events and manipulate the document
- Sharing information across the internet, build a chat app using Firebase
For each of the sections (basic styling, more bootstrap, javascript & jquery and firebase) we'll produce a short facilitator's guide outlining what we want the students to learn and some pointers and cheatsheets.

To start the app, make sure you have node.js installed (>4.0.0), run npm install to get the dependencies and then run npm start to run the server.
The site will be running on http://localhost:8081/, you can install the livereload plugin for chrome so that you can see your changes as you make them.
To deploy your page then use npm to take your files and push the to the correct branch on github using npm run ghp-deploy
