If you’re looking to learn HTML, CSS, or JavaScript, why online privacy is so important, how Creative Commons works, or the basics of good password and security hygiene, these great online workshops from the Mozilla Foundation (that’s right, the folks behind Firefox) are perfect for teaching you or someone you know.


The classes run the gamut from programming-focused ones to more informative, web literacy courses. Their interactive “CSS Story Cards,” which will get you familiar with and building an interactive story using HTML and CSS, as well as their “Erase All Kittens” workshop, which has you sifting through and changing code to make visible changes in a game. “Quacking JavaScript” gets you started with one of the essential languages needed to build for the web.

On the other hand, if you need to brush up on your password knowledge (or know someone who could use a lesson in good security hygiene,) Mozilla’s “Privacy Basics” and “Protect Your Data” courses give you the ins and outs of good password management, understanding how and where your data is tracked and collected, and of course, how to protect yourself.


Each class is free, and the classes themselves are just the tip of the iceberg. If you head down the sidebar on the left side of the page, you can find even more resources to get you started programming, join a Mozilla Club and get involved with the web community, or host a Maker Party and get to know more people like you.
