October Processing Workshop, Sat 10/20 at 10am

Workshop resources.

Our next meeting is Saturday, October 20th. Join us 10-noon to participate in a Processing workshop led by Susan Evans and Hélène Martin. Edward Jiang will come by for the last 5-10 minutes to discuss StudentRND.  We will informally swap ideas noon-1pm.

Processing is a programming language and environment that builds on Java to simplify the creation of visual and interactive programs. Its simple environment, trimed-down syntax and rich graphics libraries make it an ideal prototyping tool and have led to its use in a broad range of educational contexts.

Susan Evans from Cleveland high school has been using Processing as the context for exposing her students to programming concepts in her CS Principles course. She has been adapting curriculum she developed with Larry Snyder in the context of UW's Computer Science Principles pilot course.

Hélène Martin from UW Computer Science & Engineering used Processing during week-long summer camps for middle and high school students. Participants particularly enjoyed how easily their applications could be put on Android mobile phones.

We will discuss contexts in which Processing is an appropriate teaching tool, present tried-and-true projects and give participants a chance to try it out for themselves. Please bring a laptop with Processing installed.

  3. I hope that the web designers in long island would attend this kind of workshop. Processing is a great addition in java and learning such programming language would enhance their skills.
