FROEBEL'S FOURTEENTH GIFT UPDATED
WEAVING WEBSITES AT TRINITY SQUARE VIDEO
Weaving and computation have a long shared history. The first
mechanized loom, The Jacquard Loom, used a punch card system akin to
the punch cards used to code early computers. Weaving has long been
considered a rudimentary skill. German educator Friedrich Froebel,
best known for his kindergarten curriculum of ‘gifts,’ included
paper weaving as a part of his early education curriculum.
This introduction to HTML and CSS goes over both basics by
reimagining Frobel’s paper weaving exercises. The workshop will
begin with paper weaving with construction paper, followed by
translating these paper works into static websites. At the end of
the workshop, the participants will have created a digital
collection of Frobel’s paper weaving exercises and a better
understanding of basic web coding.
