In this 2-week exploratory class, learners explore creative coding by creating scratch-off greeting cards that they can send to friends and family. They'll learn a programming language called p5.js JavaScript, simple enough for beginners but powerful enough to create beautiful and lively projects.

Through tinkering, discussing, and investigating examples, learners gain a solid grasp of coding as well as a deep appreciation of the endless, magical possibilities that come from writing your own "generative" code – code that enables animations and games to change themselves each time they play. Learners work in small steps, tinkering with teacher-provided code and considering just one idea at a time.  New concepts and commands are added in small steps, with plenty of concrete examples and time for invention and collaboration. Class sizes are small so that I can work with individual students, finding each student's strengths and proposing questions or challenges appropriate for them. 

Please refer to the class syllabus for a detailed breakdown of each lesson. Late enrollment is not allowed in this class because skills build. If interested, or if the proposed schedule isn't convenient, please send a message.
