# Unit 1 Overview ### Overview In this first unit, students become acquainted with the Processing.py library and begin learning to create visual products on the canvas. They learn to utilize the documentation (Processing.py reference sheet, primarily) to draw and style shapes before moving into creation of variables, use of the random function, and exploring abstraction to create more efficiency in their code. ### Suggested Duration 21 - 32 Days ### Pre-Req *No prior requirements. Students with previous experience may be able to advance more quickly or challenge themselves more deeply with the curriculum.* ### Assessment Formative assessments present in each lesson.
