What Participants Built
Through interactive Dash tutorials, participants learned to create web projects from scratch, combining their new HTML, CSS, and JavaScript skills to build something creative and personal. The event emphasized that coding is not just about logic - it's an art form where design and functionality come together.
Code is more than just instructions for computers - it's a creative medium where art meets technology.
By focusing on the intersection of design and front-end development, Art of Code helped participants see coding as a creative practice, not just a technical skill. This aligns with Gique's mission to inspire learning by bridging art and technology.
