How a lesson works

Every lesson takes 10 to 12 minutes and follows the same rhythm, so you always know what comes next.

  1. See an example

    A short example shows the idea step by step.

  2. Guess, then run

    Guess what the code will do. Press Run and compare.

  3. Write your own code

    Type it, or tap code blocks into place on your phone.

  4. Get a hint when you are stuck

    Checks tell you what to fix and where. Hints come in three small steps.

  5. Save and continue later

    Your progress is saved. Stop when life calls and continue tonight or tomorrow.

Your website grows with you

Across the module you build one website about you, one mission per unit. At the end it is the first item in your portfolio, ready to show to an employer.

  1. Mission 1

    Your first web page

    A real HTML page about you, with a title, headings, text and lists.

  2. Mission 2

    Open your doors

    Links, pictures, a table and a contact form turn your page into a small website.

  3. Mission 3

    Make it yours

    Colours, fonts and a layout that works on a phone and on a computer.

  4. Mission 4

    Bring it to life

    JavaScript makes your website react. You save it as your first portfolio item.

UNWIND Code Lab: introduction video (English)

Ten minutes on the bus. A short break at work. A quiet moment, when the children are asleep.

That is enough time to start coding.

On your phone, you write your first lines of HTML, the language of web pages. Press Run, and your page appears right away.

A mistake? That's normal. A clear message shows you the line, and your next small step.

With CSS, you add colour and space. With a little JavaScript, a button reacts when you tap it.

Step by step, your own website grows: a banner, a menu, your content and a side menu.

Each unit ends with a short challenge. You earn badges and Code Cards. Use a tag in your own website, and its card turns shiny.

Finish every lesson, pass the four unit challenges, and you get a certificate of completion.

Who builds our digital world? In 2025, only about one in five ICT specialists in the EU were women. There is room for many more.

It's free. No experience needed. Start your first lesson today, at UNWIND Code Lab.
