AI Explorer: Creative Coding with p5.js — 2-Week Online Bootcamp for Teens

Step into Artificial Intelligence and creative coding with p5.js. Over two weeks, learners build AI-powered, interactive projects—combining speech recognition, visual interactivity, and motion controls—guided live by a mentor so every session is hands-on and confidence-building.

⭐ Key Facts

• Format: Live online (mentor-led)

• Duration: 2 weeks (Module 1)

• Stack: p5.js (JavaScript), speech recognition, object/logo detection, pose estimation (e.g., PoseNet)

• Projects: Weekly mini-projects + end-of-module live showcase

• Outcomes: Certificate, personalised mentor feedback, star rating, eligibility for Level 2 – AI Creator with p5.js

What You’ll Learn

• AI fundamentals: speech recognition, object/logo detection, pose estimation concepts

• p5.js basics: drawing, colour, animation, event-driven code

• Creative coding: blend AI inputs with visuals to make interactive experiences

• Logic & control: conditionals, loops, debugging inside AI projects

• Project workflow: plan → code → test → iterate → present

Week-by-Week (guide only)

Week 1 — “Talk & Draw: AI Meets Code”

• p5.js setup, syntax, drawing basics

• Use speech recognition to trigger actions

• Build interactive, AI-driven visual sketches

  Mini-projects:

1. Voice Course Details — display info from voice commands

2. Shape Generator — draw shapes via speech input

3. Snake Game — classic gameplay with polished visuals

Mentor support: live coding, real-time feedback, best-practice HTML/JS structure.

Week 2 — “AI in Action: Recognition & Motion”

• Deeper coding logic, loops, conditions

• Combine AI models with creative visuals

• Pose estimation (e.g., PoseNet) for motion-based control

  Mini-projects:

1. Logo Identifier — detect/respond to logos or icons

2. PoseNet Animation — move characters/objects with body motion

Mentor support: guided debugging, optimisation, design polish, creative extensions.

Showcase

Learners demo their favourite AI project live—explaining design choices, inputs (speech/motion), and interaction design to peers and parents.
