Learn our Website

Learn how our website code works and how to use elements in the different files. We use four types of "code" including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Markdown (technically, only JavaScript is code, html and markdown are markup languages, and css is a stylesheet)

Get Started: HTML CSS JavaScript

What do you need to know?

Different parts of the website need knowledge on different things. If you are editing the website structure and layout, you'll need knowledge of HTML. If you are changing the styles, you'll need CSS and basic HTML knowledge. To edit pages such as news, outreach, etc. you'll need to know Markdown and a few basic HTML elements. To edit scripts to load or animate elements, you'll need basic knowledge of JavaScript.

Edit Markdown Files

We store data for news articles, sponsors, and outreach in Markdown (.md) files. Markdown is easier to read and write than HTML but less customizable. The markdown files can be edited at the following links: news.md, sponsors.md, outreach.md

Note: HTML Styles and Scripts display incorrectly on GitHub. They will still appear correctly on the actual website.
