Following the morning class Julian Xu and Navid Nafissi taught the students about HTML and CSS. Focusing on CSS, the goal was to work on creating a website for the students so that they could learn more about web design. The CSS they worked on was embedded in the HTML and they used a website that they had already worked on. Julian and Navid taught them many things including "div" tags in CSS and working with height and width. They also discussed with the students what the difference between margins and padding were and taught the students how to add links onto the webpage. After teaching them these new tags, they worked with the students to implement it onto the website.

Navid and Julian proceeded with teaching the students more code after the break. They taught the students how to place a table into the HTML code. They first wrote out the table in HTML placing the picures and text into the cell blocks. Navid and Julian taught them what each tag meant and stressed the importance of being careful with the syntax. After making a table, the instructors presented a challenge to the students and helped them work independently on it. The challenge was to implement another table into the website for a different product. Through the course of the class the students were able to work on and edit a website on their own.
