As an example, they will work together with Prof. Dominik Schumacher on the topic of generative ornaments and object-based programming. They will use the library controlP5 that will support the workflows and experiments. - Prof. Dominik Schumacher will guide them through the process of creative coding, making little experimental sketches, setting up a framework and bringing together all the little experiments into one overall setup. 

Requirements for the participants:
– Basic English, enough to understand the code. 
– Basic knowledge of coding with processing or another code-based language. 

Technical requirements:
