Welcome to SPARK ✨

A magical playground where creative code collides with curiosity, experiments run wild, and tiny “aha!” moments pop up everywhere.

Tinker, break, build, and get inspired by fellow Sparklies at every twist and turn!

Words from the Playground:

“SPARK is magical. It gives you just the right amount of structure, community, and goals to explore without getting lost.”

  • "SPARK is magical. It gives you just the right amount of structure, community, and goals to explore without getting lost. Witnessing and riffing off of other people's creativity is by far what made SPARK such an incredible experience for me."

    — Chris Bednarski

  • "SPARK allows me to pursue my passion... It's great fun to program with Patt, create creative results, and reflect on the creative flow. This is exactly what motivated me to join SPARK—to let creative work with programming 'sparkle.'"

    — Sabine Probst

  • "It's a space where I can learn, share ideas, and, most importantly, find the motivation to keep experimenting, which hasn’t always been easy on my own. No matter where you are in your creative coding journey, give SPARK a try, it will help you grow."

    — George Gorczynski

  • "SPARK is such a wonderful space to thrive and develop your passion for creative coding. Everyone in SPARK is super encouraging and excited to share feedback, new concepts, points of view, or collaborate to try something new together."

    — Eze

  • "There were lots of little 'aha moments' I had. I enjoyed seeing everyone's perspective on the topic."

    — Masatoshi Otsuka

  • "SPARK is a fun, creative community where people from around the world come together to share their ideas... I often felt stuck not knowing what to create, but the prompts and community helped me push through."

    — Steve

  • "SPARK is a space to think, a laboratory to do research, and a forum to connect with nice people... SPARK is the shiny thing that gives you the excitement to start coding."

    — Tim Charlier

FAQ

FAQ *

  • YouTube is where I teach. SPARK is where we make.

    This is about showing up regularly, playing with prompts, and building a creative rhythm—with support, structure, and a little chaos (the fun kind).

  • Yes! SPARK is open to all curious creatives—whether you’re new to coding or already deep in the loop.

    You just need a browser and a willingness to experiment. We’ll mostly use p5.js, and I’ll guide you through it.

  • Not at all! You can join SPARK anytime.

    Each month brings a theme and weekly prompts—gentle guides so you’re never starting from scratch.

    Follow along, riff on what others are making, or carve your own path, all within a creative community ready to spark your inspiration.

  • SPARK is more of a creative playground than a critique group—but you’ll have chances to share your sketches, get encouragement, and connect during our Friday Hangs and in the community space.

  • No problem at all!

    Everything’s recorded and added to the archive, so you can join in when it fits your life. SPARK is built to be flexible—show up live or catch the magic later.

  • Yes! You can cancel your membership whenever you like.

    If you cancel before the next billing cycle, you won’t be charged again (though we’ll miss your spark!).

  • No worries — just send me a note at hi@pattvira.com and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can!
