Summary

Gatsby Web Creators is a free livestream series launched by the Gatsby Learning Team, intended for individuals aged 13 and up who are interested in learning web development. Taking place every Friday through April 24th, 2020, this series covers foundational web skills such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with sessions featuring live demonstrations on Glitch, a platform for creating and sharing web apps. The sessions, streamed on Twitch, require no prior experience beyond curiosity and an internet-connected computer, and are available for later viewing on YouTube. Participants can interact via Twitch chat and remix Glitch projects, while minors can join with parental permission, using only first names for privacy. The series encourages engagement from both beginners and more reserved learners, offering a chance to explore web development in a supportive, online community.
