The Processing Foundation Education Portal is a collection of free education materials that can be used to teach our software in a variety of classroom settings. Rather than endorse a specific curriculum, we’ve engaged with educators from our community, ranging from K12 teachers to folks who lead workshops at hackerspaces, and asked them to share their teaching materials here, which anyone can use. To hear more about their approaches and practices, check out CreateCanvas, our new education podcast, which focuses on teaching at the intersection of art, science, and technology. Check back for future podcast episodes for in-depth interviews with these innovative educators.
