Who is this for? / People with an idea

That idea could become something of your own.

You do not need coding experience to begin. Bring the problem, the sketch or the thing you wish existed. Find a practical first step with other Black people making their own work.

Give the idea a shape.

Work out who it is for, what it helps them do and what a small first version needs. A clear question gives you somewhere to start.

Make a version to try.

Explore a simple website, a useful download or an app prototype. Use the tools to make the idea visible, then look closely at what works.

Learn from a real response.

Show someone the version you have made. Listen to their questions and watch how they use it. Let that response guide the next change.

A place to start

A first page for your idea.

Make a page that explains the problem, shows your proposed solution and gives people a clear next step. Start small enough to finish and useful enough to learn from.

Your first
few steps.

  1. Bring one question.

    Write down what you want to make and who you think would use it. You can arrive with a rough idea.

  2. Choose one small build.

    Find a starting point you can work through: one page, one product or one useful feature.

  3. Share the work in progress.

    Use feedback to make your next decision. Ask for help with the part you are learning.
