Creative Coding with P5

Learning to program can be a real challenge. One key difficulty is dealing with the abstract nature of coding. Juggling multiple abstract ideas in your head is not easy!

In this course, students create and interact with vision and sound so that these abstract ideas become real sensory experiences.

We will code using a Javascript-based language called P5, which is popular with artists and other creative people.

This course is ideal for those who want to learn to program from scratch or want to consolidate their previous learning. The computational thinking skills gained are transferrable to other programming languages.
