Hello! We’re so excited to be learning with you. You’re getting this email because you signed up to get weekly updates from the Bad Website Club during our upcoming Responsive Web Design bootcamp.

Over the next 10 weeks, we’ll be learning the core skills you need to make websites. We’ll be learning together in a relaxed, friendly way. This bootcamp is completely free, the only thing we ask from learners is that you bring your curiosity and abide by the Code of Conduct when you interact with our instructors or other learners.

Where we’ll learn:

We’ll be teaching live sessions at 15:00 UTC Monday to Friday on Youtube and Twitch, to let learners pick which service they prefer to watch from. All stream videos will be available afterwards for learners unable to join us live.

We have a dedicated channel in the freeCodeCamp Discord. All information will be posted to the Bad Website Club website and all your lesson units can be found on the freeCodeCamp Responsive Web Design course.

We’re using a flipped classroom approach, asking you to work through the lesson material on your own before we review together during our streamed sessions.
