BEAM Website

BEAM (Bruins Encouraging Active Minds @ UCLA) is a service club at UCLA that brings hands-on science activities to underserved K-8 schools across Los Angeles. This repository holds the code for our simple website, which hosts logistics information and our lesson plans.

Development Setup

Making your own changes is easy! This website uses Jekyll, a ruby-based static site generator, to do lots of the boring work - that way, you can focus on changing the content!

To get a copy of this website running locally on your machine, you'll need Ruby, a copy of this repo, and access to your system's shell/terminal.

Note: we recommend using rvm instead of your system ruby; it makes life easier 😄!

First, let's install Bundler, a gem environment manager for ruby. Type this anywhere in your shell:

$ gem install bundler
...

Then, we can clone our project and install its dependencies.

$ git clone https://github.com/mattxwang/beam-website.git
...
$ cd beam-website
$ bundle
...

This should install all of our RubyGems dependencies! Note that we've committed a Gemfile.lock, so you should get a working set of gems.

Finally, run:

$ bundle exec jekyll serve

How to Use

NOTE: GitHub Actions is required to deploy to GitHub Pages because GitHub refuses to update their version of Jekyll.
