"STEM education refers to the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
STEAM education incorporates the “A” for the arts –
recognizing that to be successful in technical fields,
individuals must also be creative and use critical thinking skills
which are best developed through exposure to the arts."



web: p5.js (and d3.js)

p5.js (p5js.org)
"the power of Processing times the reach of JavaScript"

p5.js overview · processing/p5.js Wiki
"p5.js is a JavaScript library that starts with the original goal of Processing—to make coding accessible for artists, designers, educators, and beginners—and reinterprets this for today's web.

Using the original metaphor of a software sketchbook, p5.js has a full set of drawing functionality. However, you're not limited to your drawing canvas, you can think of your whole browser page as your sketch! For this, p5.js has addon libraries that make it easy to interact with other HTML5 objects, including text, input, video, webcam, and sound."
