Sessions
For over a decade, p5.js has helped learners to make algorithmic art on the web. p5.js is community-driven, prioritizes access and inclusion, and makes coding beginner-friendly by requiring as little prior knowledge as possible to get hands-on, while supporting continued learning.
p5.strands is a new graphics tool available in p5.js v2. Motivated by designing a beginner-friendly shader programming API, it continues to be developed through community feedback. As a follow up to our presentation, this one-hour hackathon invites participants both on-site and online to try out using p5.strands to create algorithmic art, or to find out more about the technical roadmap and issues ready for work. In addition to the presenters on site, the hackathon takes place on Discord, with remote presence and support by p5.strands developers.
