In this 10 lesson project-based course, students will learn the basics of JavaScript, develop interactive web elements, and create animations using the p5.js library. This beginner level course is perfect for new programmers, as well as for students that have some experience with HTML and CSS but would like to begin developing interactive elements and animations. Students will learn to use variables, conditional statements, loops, functions, and arrays. Our project-based lessons allow students to practice essential programming skills while working on fun and unique creations. All students will be asked to apply what they’ve learned to create a final project of their own design which will be presented on the last day of class. There will be some reinforcement quizzes for students to complete after lessons, along with review games that will be played in the final class meetings to ensure students remember material and are prepared to take the next steps in their programming adventures. For a week to week program, check out the syllabus.
