This year for Computer Science Education Week (the week of December 6th), students at CVU participated in a schoolwide project. They learned how colors are represented numerically in computers, then used a color picker to select and find the (hexadecimal) values for a color of their choice.

The program was written in the Processing computer language, using openprocessing.org, which encourages the sharing and adapting of other's projects; The animation is now playing on monitors around the school In planning the project, we wanted to do more than code.
