What people say…
One of my most memorable moments from our tutorials is when, even if one person would struggle, everyone was able to pitch in and help - not just the project leader. I think that really shows how far we've come from students to teachers.

I'm super excited to continue working on building The Data Garden Project as a resource that can hopefully bring together a diverse community of people and see the creative outcomes that can come from it.

I'm definitely proud of what everybody's been able to achieve - most of us to come with zero coding knowledge.
I really enjoyed the open-ended nature of what we were learning, and it was so fun to see everybody experiment with code in their own way and create their own little interactive pieces of art.

How it works
By embarking on a Data Garden Project, you’re invited to find & gather data from your own life — quantify it into a dataset, and visualise that data using p5.js, a beginner-friendly JavaScript drawing software.
We’re sharing stories about our lives with friends, but using code!
Join the collective
Whether you're a curious beginner or a seasoned educator, there's a spot for you in our garden.
