Project "Hybrid Curriculum": Enhancing all lessons with p5.js-code

Added 2022-11-04 15:00:10 +0000 UTC

Hello folks, ✌️

I hope you are all doing well! Here comes a huge update.

Backstory: For the current semester, I have accepted a small teaching assignment for Creative Coding again after a long time. This time I'm teaching the course "Graphic Design Machines" at the FH Bielefeld together with Florian Gubernator, who has an enormous background in both graphic design and creative coding. Florian suggested to use p5.js instead of Processing in the course and I thought it would be an exciting challenge. Then I got the idea to use this tailwind to push a massive update for my online courses:

My plan is to gradually prepare the entire curriculum for both Processing and p5.js. This is very ambitious, and above all quite a lot of manual work, because for this I have to port a few hundred code snippets on the website from Processing to p5.js, test them and then add them to the respective lessons. Fortunately, I found some people in the community who are now helping me with this and i think and hope it will be done in the next few weeks. I will keep you updated here.

What do you think about this initiative? Feel free to leave a comment on this post and let us know what's on your mind.

Enjoy and have a great weekend! ☀️

Tim
