+This coding course is generally meant to introduce you to programming and some possibilities for you to use it in your future life. In particular, you will become basically familiar with the p5js library, which among other things will give you a tool to exercise your creativity and make pictures.
+We hope that by taking part in the course, you will (further) develop your ability to see and think about the world in a different way. This will help you with overcoming challenges and novel situations in your future life. You may also find that you develop interest in further learning programming and wish to continue down that path in the future.
+As with learning in any new field, subject, or language, you may face difficulties in the beginning which makes you want to give up. You may start to think that maybe you are not "smart" enough to learn, or maybe you are just not born to do programming. Don't worry and don't give up. The teaching assistants and teacher also started from 0, and are happy to assist you when you need help.
+At the end of this course, you will be able to command your computer to create a visual image you imagined in your head. Your improvements and your final product will be documented on our group wiki site, and you will receive a certificate to document your learning as well. Most importantly, you will gain a new sense of self-achievement from being able to successfully acquire a new skill.
+Good luck.
