Duration: 6 weeks (2 days per week in the evening)

Week 1: Generate the ideas

Introduction

In this session we will give an introduction to the kids about what we will do in next six weeks. Tell kids how we will go about making our web site using the ‘What we will do each week chart’. Assess the computer skills of the kids and the program can be tuned accordingly.

Provide: The handout for the program.

Ideas session

In this session, all the participants will come up with ideas of what they wish to see on their website. All the ideas will be noted down on the flip chart. When the session ends, someone will compile the ideas on a document.  A team can then put up the ideas generated in a notice format and display it on the club’s notice board.

Session can start with a demo of different types of websites kids visit and like. We can show the current clubs web site. Kids can then come up with the kinds of things they would want to see on the web site they will create. It could be anything. We can start organizing the ideas in sections in this session. 

Week 2: Draw it all on paper

Organize all material in sections

In this session, we will try to arrange all the ideas into sections and pages, as if were writing a book. Kids will then give names to their pages, and take responsibility of the pages they will make in the program.

Draw web pages on paper

In this session, kids will draw the pages as they would appear on the screen. They will write the text they wish to see, and they will fill colors, think of pictures they wish to put up, place pictures on the paper.

Week 3: Start making the pages

Start Developing web pages

Here we will introduce the tools kids will use to make the web pages. This will be the most involved phase where we will work with kids closely and help them to make the web pages.

Develop pages

This will be the second day of development of the web pages.

Week 4: Keep making

Develop pages

This will be third day of development of the web pages.

Develop pages

This will be the last day dedicated to development of the pages. By this day we will have good idea of how these pages will be linked to each other. We will also clean the pages for any anomalies we find.

Week 5: Lets put it all together

Make a local website

On this day we will put all the pages developed on one computer and link them together. We will make sure that all the links work.

Transfer website online

On this day we will transfer all the pages to a remote website and let the kids see their pages online from the internet. We will ask them to see the pages from their home/school and will encourage them to show the website to their friends and family.

Week 6: Let the world see it!

Design operations around the site

Once the website is up, we will assign responsibilities of different sections of the website to different people. They will be responsible for keeping the website updated.

Clean up pages

We can use the last day as a buffer if any of the above days spills over. Or we can use this day to clean / update the pages with incremental updates. We can train the operations team on how they will update the website.
