This document outlines an agenda for a web development lab on building a memory game. It allocates 180 minutes to complete the lab and provides a detailed breakdown of tasks including developing HTML and CSS structure in 50 minutes, writing pseudocode in 10 minutes, and coding the JavaScript application in 120 minutes. It also lists optional bonus activities like adding shuffling, move counting, and a "cheat" mode. An alternate agenda is proposed focusing on jQuery plugins, but the document returns to describing the memory game lab in detail.
