Activities
1. Website Making: Ever wondered how websites are created? Wonder no more as you will have the opportunity to make your own personalized website using HTML and CSS.
2. Testing: People often forget that computer software, websites, and mobile applications require testing in order to make sure that they work the way they should. Without software testing, you would not be as happy with your favourite smart phone application or find it as easy to navigate through an important website.
