Creative Programming belongs to the competency areas of Technology & Realization and Math, Data & Computing, which enables the students to explore, prototype, create and demonstrate innovative concepts and experiences using technology. Programming is the foundational step towards building interactive and intelligent systems, products and services.

Students will learn to code first in a visual context by creating artistic visuals and interactive animations using Processing, and later extend these knowledge and skills to the web-based contexts using p5.js. The students are expected to not only gain first-hand experience with Processing programming in creating visuals, animations, and tangible prototypes but also master the fundamental programming concepts such as variables, control flows, functions, data structures and object-orientation, to build a vocabulary for communicating with software engineers in the future.
