Web Development Track

Overview:

The Web Development Track at CODO School is designed to introduce young minds to the world of programming and digital creation in a fun, structured, and scalable way. Whether your child is 8 or 18 years old, this program adapts to their developmental stage and cognitive abilities, helping them grow step-by-step into confident web developers.

This track goes beyond just coding—it shapes the way children think, problem-solve, and build digital solutions. We work closely with our students to strengthen their computational thinking, logical reasoning, and independent learning skills.

Web Development Track

Age Group: 8–18 years
Duration: 1 to 3 years (depending on age group)
Levels:

• Ages under 12: 6 levels (each 3 months)

• Ages 12 and above: 4 levels (each 3 months)

What Students Will Learn:

💡 Duration: 12 Months – 4 Levels (Each Level = 3 Months)

• JSX syntax and component structure

• Props & state management

• Handling events in React

• Intro to functional components

• Conditional rendering

• Mapping over data to generate UI

• Folder/project structure for React apps

• Working with simple JSON data (static or Firebase)

• Project: “Multi-Page Portfolio” using React

Skills Developed:
🔄 Reusability – 🔗 Data-driven UI – ⚛ Component-based thinking

🔹 Level 4 – Real Projects & CS Environment Awareness

Goal: Consolidate skills with real-world web app development and understand the broader development environment.

Topics Covered:

• Advanced state handling & component communication

• Working with APIs (fetching and displaying data)

• Form handling & validation

• Introduction to Firebase (authentication or database)

• Hosting projects (Netlify, GitHub Pages)

• Git & version control basics

• Environment concepts: servers, requests, databases, and cloud

• Independent thinking: planning and managing a personal project

• Final Project: “Client Challenge” – student builds a web app based on a brief

Skills Developed:
🌍 Real-world workflow – 🗂 Version control – 🧩 Full app thinking

✅ By the End of the Track, Students Will Be Able To:

• Build responsive, interactive websites and apps

• Use JavaScript and React confidently

• Work with APIs and understand how web apps communicate

• Think like a developer: break problems into steps, search effectively, test and improve

• Deploy real-world projects and manage code like professionals

• Develop self-learning habits and tech curiosity that lasts

Beyond Code – Developing the Child’s Mind:

At CODO School, we believe coding is a tool to unlock a child’s potential. Our Web Development Track is built to:

• Encourage curiosity and experimentation

• Teach self-directed learning and how to find answers online

• Build resilience through debugging and iteration

• Foster a growth mindset by reflecting on challenges and progress

• Introduce the fundamentals of Computer Science, such as how data flows and how environments are structured

Tools & Platforms Used:

• Visual Studio Code

• GitHub & Git

• Replit / CodePen (for early levels)

• Firebase / JSON-based mock databases

• Canva (for designing web elements)

• Online whiteboards and interactive quizzes for concept reinforcement

End Goal:

By the end of the track, students will:

• Be able to build responsive websites from scratch

• Understand how the web works behind the scenes

• Have a personal portfolio of projects

• Be ready to explore more advanced paths like App Development, Game Development, AI, or even contribute to real-world coding communities
