Sessions:
Visualize It: Tell a unique story of a location with artistic maps made in Python. Using geospatial data, this session will teach the building blocks of machine learning in a fun and creative way- data visualization.
Intro to p5.js: Never written a line of code before? Not a problem. Come learn the basics and be creating digital art in under an hour.
Computational Portraits in p5.js: Take your selfie to the next level with computational portraits! This workshop will teach you how to build animated portraits in p5.js. You'll learn to upload images and use pixel data to make creative, dynamic portraits with code.
Making Adventure Games with Javascript and the Wick Editor: Learn how to create a point and click adventure game using JavaScript and the Wick Editor, a free tool for making games, animations and interactive projects.
