Creative Code Collective is a supportive community for critical and artistic coding. We build programming skills in an engaging, non-intimidating environment—emphasizing co-learning and co-teaching, experimentation, and being-in-process. We believe in growth not perfection, scrappy artistic strategies not perfect code, collaboration not competition. All levels and languages welcome!
