The goal of C³ is to provide an open space for participants to explore, practice, and learn the art of creative coding. Summarily put, creative coding can be described as the practice of creating visual designs and expressions through code. The basic idea is to turn computer algorithms and mathematical functions into aesthetic sensory experiences.
Some examples of creative coding sketches:

This space is open for everyone. While a background in programming languages, mathematics, or visual design would be of help, please feel free to join even if you've never written a line of code before.
A theme will be proposed at the start of each C³, after which the participants will have 2-3 hours to create their designs. The goal of the theme is to give a starting point for brainstorming creative ideas, and there is no requirement to adhere to it if a participant has something else they want to work on.
Participants are encouraged to brainstorm together and share advice and constructive feedback while working, as one of C³'s goals is to create an environment that's fun, collaborative, and inclusive for people of all skill levels. Less experienced members are especially encouraged to ask for help whenever they feel stuck or unsure how to implement their ideas.
At the end of each C³, participants may present their (possibly incomplete) designs for general feedback and discussion.
Due to the coding requirement, participants will need to bring their personal laptops (or tablets with attached keyboard) to each session.
