Computational art and creative coding: teaching CS1 with processing (abstract only)
Page 660
Abstract
This workshop showcases a new approach to teaching CS1 using computational art as a context. Participants will be introduced to the Processing programming language and environment, designed for the construction of 2D and 3D visual forms. Its IDE is lightweight, but well-suited for the rapid prototyping needed for dynamic visual work. We hope to bring the excitement, creativity, and innovation fostered by Processing into the computer science education community. Instructors of all experience levels are welcome. Hands-on portion of the workshop will enable participants to explore Processing and create visual effects on the fly. Course materials and handouts detailing the software, curriculum, and teaching resources will be given out. All participants will need to bring their own laptops.

Creative coding and visual portfolios for CS1
SIGCSE '12: Proceedings of the 43rd ACM technical symposium on Computer Science EducationIn this paper, we present the design and development of a new approach to teaching the college-level introductory computing course (CS1) using the context of art and creative coding. Over the course of a semester, students create a portfolio of ...

Creative Computation in High School
SIGCSE '16: Proceedings of the 47th ACM Technical Symposium on Computing Science EducationIn this paper we describe the success of bringing Creative Computation via Processing into two very different high schools that span the range of possibilities of grades 9-12 in American education. Creative Computation is an emerging discipline that ...
