Calendar
At Creative Coding Utrecht we organise a range of monthly events that cater to different interests, age groups and skill level. We aim to help you develop your connection with all things coding, no matter how foreign the subject might seem to you.
Have no idea what Creative Coding means? Have a background in programming but you wouldn’t know where to start making your own, creative stuff? Or do you simply want to enhance your pre-existing skills and create even more flashy visuals, animations and more?
Filter our events by topic and accessibility level, there is something for everyone. To look up any of our past events, check out the archive.
liveCoding_101_Weekender
TicketsJoin us a weekend full of workshops on live coding music and visuals, and a from-scratch session!
On Saturday you will learn programming visuals by Niki Scheijen (Nikilia) with the Hydra Video Synth, and you will also learn programming music by Wilbert Vogel (Lil’ Bleep) with the Mercury playground. No experience required, just curiosity!
In the evening we’ll have a From-Scratch session together with the Netherlands Coding Live (NL_CL) community, where you can enjoy short 9-minute improvised performances by others, or if you already feel like it you can join yourself!
On Sunday we’ll continue with more in-depth workshops, during which you can choose what you would like to dive deeper into, making visuals or music.
Later in the day we’ll form duos, where you will collaborate with someone else from the workshop to try out making music and visuals together. And to close the event we’ll have our own From-Scratch session where you can show us your screens and first experiments in front of the other participants.
