Full Stack Fundamentals is a 3-day beginner-friendly dive into how the web actually comes together, from what runs in the browser to what happens on the server.

Across HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python, participants will move from building simple interfaces to understanding frontend logic, backend fundamentals, and how both sides connect to form a complete web application.

The focus is not on memorising syntax. It is on understanding the stack, writing code yourself, and seeing how the pieces fit together.

No prior full-stack experience required. Just bring your laptop, curiosity, and be ready to build.
