The RISE program (Re-Imagining Student Education) was created to respond to the new demands created by the evolving freelance economy. Beginning in Newport as a pilot program, the overall goal of the program is to provide young people with a unique opportunity to acquire skills which are currently in high demand in today’s economy, giving them a comparative advantage when entering the workforce. The first iteration of the RISE program will focus on providing participating students with the skills necessary to become freelance web designers.
The overall goal of the program is to give each student an overall understanding of the web, fundamentals of website design and experience. Upon successful completion of the course, each student will be fluent and have strong foundational knowledge of: – HTML/HTML5, – CSS/CSS3 – Javascript – jQuery – Github. – User Interface and Experience – Wireframing and Sitemapping – How to interact with servers/domains
