Experience: No coding experience required Base44 is particularly suitable for this course because students can describe what they want in natural language and have AI generate a working website, then refine the design and content through further prompts. Base44 currently supports multi-page websites, responsive layouts, built-in hosting, forms, and publishing. Course Overview Ever wanted to create your own website but don't know how to code? In this exciting 3-day holiday program, students will learn how to use AI to design, build, customise, and publish their own website. Students will start by learning how websites are structured and how to communicate effectively with AI. They will then use Base44 to turn their ideas into working websites, learning how to improve layouts, colours, images, text, navigation, and functionality using natural-language prompts. Rather than simply asking AI to "make a website," students will learn how to plan, direct, test, and improve an AI-generated project.
