Memory Sites Workshop

for your company, institution, or community

In this workshop, we will reflect on the past to understand what we need more of in the future. To do this, we will use the energy of HTML as our medium and guide. Together, we will distill a few memories into pin moments, and create our own HTML memory notebooks.

Outcomes

A small web notebook or memory site that you can customize and use in the future.

Who is it for

Anyone! If you've never coded before or have been coding for years.

Details

• Ideal for companies, institutions, and communities with a workshop budget.
• The workshop leans more toward the conceptual. We won't focus so much on learning how to code since there are many ways to do this already. Instead we will focus on writing and reflecting and distill what we want more of from our websites.
• The workshop is 2 hours long, with options for customization.
