Creative Coding #
Our group will explore coding as a creative process rather than just a technical skill. Many beginners find programming intimidating and miss out on the enjoyment it can offer. By using code to create graphics, we can make learning more approachable and visually rewarding. This study group will center around programming with P5.js, an open-source JavaScript framework designed for creative coding.
