Processing Community Day @ Aarhus

How to think about code differently

Info about event

Time

Saturday 9 February 2019,  at 11:00 - 15:30

Processing Community Day (PCD) @ Aarhus is a one day event on promoting code, diversity and community outreach. There will be 10 presenters show their software-based projects through the ‘show and tell’ program. There will be also code and share for a more cozy and casual discussion of code with the presenters. 

A focus of this project is to make learning how to program and make creative work with code accessible to diverse communities. The background of PCD is entered around Processing, which is a free and open-source software platform created by Casey Reas and Ben Fry for learning how to code in art and design. It is complemented by a web version, called p5.js, created by Lauren McCarthy. To date, Processing and p5.js are used by a worldwide community of artists, designers, coders, educators and students.

For the Aarhus node, the theme is “How to think about code differently”, aiming to build a local and open community at Aarhus and exploring code and coding practice in many different ways beyond science and engineering specialisation and functional applications development.

You are all invited to join the event on the 9 Feb from 1100-1530, and we will have 10 presenters (from junior and senior students, researchers to practitioners from various backgrounds) to do the show and tell their software-based projects.
