About this workshop
The September workshop kicks off our 2026/2027 Technology Year, welcoming students into a new journey of coding, Artificial Intelligence, creativity, and real-world problem-solving.
As the first workshop in the series, September workshop is all about building strong foundations. Beginner students will take their first steps into web development and HTML, while Advanced students will explore Artificial Intelligence, responsible AI, and how technology can be used to solve meaningful real-world problems.
This is not just an introduction; it is the starting point for projects and skills that students will continue developing throughout the technology year.
September is where the journey begins. Come ready to code, explore AI, ask big questions, and build!

Students will discover how the internet, websites, and webpages work before getting hands-on with HTML- the language used to structure webpages.
Through guided coding activities, students will identify common webpage elements, learn basic HTML tags, explore EduBlocks, and build their very first webpage featuring their name and a fun fact.
Students begin their AI journey by exploring what Artificial Intelligence really is, how it differs from automation, and how AI is already being used in the world around them.
They’ll investigate real-world AI examples while learning about bias, fairness, privacy, safety, and responsible AI. Students will also begin an AI Idea Journal, identifying a meaningful real-world problem that could become the foundation of their final project later in the program.
Black Boys Code will provide all workshop learning materials and structured instruction FREE of charge, including:
- Coding and project activities
- Student planning and reflection materials
- AI Idea Journal resources
- Guided examples and exercises
- Instructor support throughout the workshop
