Unit 2 ยท Stage 3

Flexbox and Cards

Your header looks great. Right now the three cards are stacked in a plain column. You will use flexbox to line them up in a neat row that wraps on small screens. (pause on a highlighted word to see what it does)

1 Meet flexbox

Your <main> has the class container, and it holds the three cards. When you make it a flex container, its cards line up side by side instead of stacking.

Native youth in tech: each card is a piece of your story. Flexbox lets them stand together, side by side, the way a community does.

2 The container rule

A few properties turn .container into a flexible row.

What this code means
display
flex turns the container into a flexible box and lines its cards up in a row.
justify-content
center pushes the row of cards into the middle of the page.
gap
The space between cards. 20px keeps them from touching.
flex-wrap
wrap lets cards drop to the next line on a narrow screen, so nothing gets squished.
๐ŸŽฎ Try it: add a .container rule with display: flex;, justify-content: center;, gap: 20px;, flex-wrap: wrap;, and padding: 40px 20px; then press โ–ถ Run.

3 Style the cards

Each <section> has the class card. Give the cards a white background, rounded corners, a set width, and inside padding.

What this code means
background-color
white makes each card pop against the light blue page.
border-radius
Rounds the corners. 8px gives a soft, friendly edge.
width
How wide each card is. 320px keeps all three even.
text-align
left lines the text up on the left inside the card, which is easier to read than centered.
๐ŸŽฎ Try it: add a .card rule with background-color: white;, border-radius: 8px;, width: 320px;, padding: 20px;, and text-align: left; then Run.

โœ“ Finish this stage

To complete Stage 3, your .container needs display: flex and your .card needs rounded corners. Press Check my work when you are ready. This opens Stage 4 and lets your teacher see that you finished.
