Join us for a two-day virtual event highlighting the incredible work of our 2024 Processing Foundation Fellows and pr05 grantees! Over the past four months, our two cohorts have been working on projects that push the boundaries of creative coding, open-source development, and accessibility. Attendance is free but please register on Eventbrite to receive the Zoom link.
About the Fellowship Program
The Processing Foundation Fellowship supports individuals and teams developing projects aligned with the foundation’s mission to promote software literacy, inclusivity, and accessibility in creative technology. This year’s fellows—Ahnjili ZhuParris, Alyssa Gersony, Colette Aliman, Dan Xu, Amad Ansari, Anh (Autumn) Pham, Buffy Sierra, Amad Ansari, Roxanne Harris, Dorothy Howard and David Isaac Hecht, and Roopa Vasudevan—have focused on initiatives in the following areas: Archival Practices, Open-Source Governance, Disability Justice in Creative Tech, and Access and AI.
About the pr05 Grants
The pr05 grants support developers working to enhance and expand the Processing and p5.js ecosystems, with a focus on creating long-lasting impact. This year’s grantees—Claudine Chen, Diya Solanki, Dora Do, Miaoye Que, and Nahee Kim—are building tools and contributing that lay strong foundations for the future of open-source creative coding.
