To style the theme with custom CSS or JS code, navigate to Theme Options > Custom Code. Add your custom code in the code box.

A WordPress child theme is a theme that inherits the functionality of another theme, called the parent theme. Child themes allow you to modify, or add to the functionality of that parent theme.

Instead of modifying the theme files directly, you can create a child theme and override within.
