CC Fest is a free and friendly event for anyone curious about creative code.

We welcome:

Students, artists, hobbyists, creatives, and tinkerers who are curious to learn
Educators and community organizers who are looking for inspiration
Everyone who would like to learn more about creative code and our community

Come spend a few hours with us! Make interactive and engaging digital art, animation, and games, work with AI or hardware, and explore many other options. Hear from our keynote speakers on important and timely topics related to creative coding.
