Showcase this hands-on experience in an interview
In this course, we’ll guide you through a series of hands-on projects. You’ll build your own animations used in telling stories, in conveying data for presentations and in simple games for motivating kids. Everything will be done using only HTML, CSS and Javascript (ES6), so you’ll gain the foundational skills applicable to any other visualization or game framework you might wish to use later. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
