NEW! Sushi Cards

​

Advanced Javascript

In these Sushi Cards you'll be building an app to get information from an  Application Programming Interface (API) and display it to your user. Then you'll let them filter the information too. In this project, you'll be using the PokeAPI. It will let you get information about, and pictures of Pokémon to display to your users. Once you're done, it'll look like this:

Beginner App Inventor

These cards are going to introduce you to App Inventor. You're going to get the chance to: learn to build apps for Android phones and tablets, build a quiz that keeps score as the player goes through it. You'll end up with something that looks like this (though you can play around with colors and adding images to brighten it up if you like!).

Beginner HTML

 In these mini-sushi pages you will build a website using Trinket.  This example is all about the zoo.  It will look like this when you are done.  After you have learned how to build this site, you can edit it to something that interests you.

You'll need a Trinket account for this project.  Get one here.
