Clojure Jam - Where We Express Ourselves in a Functional Way
Scicloj has been expanding, not only as a group for exploring the diverse domains and use cases for Clojure in data science and beyond, but also as a community that welcomes anyone who wants to learn, contribute, or share fun stories of their enthusiasm for Clojure.
Over the previous conferences hosted by Scicloj, we’ve had the pleasure of meeting many talented and creative minds. It’s been inspiring, and we want more!
Clojure Jam - The Event
There are many ways of expressing creativity, including through code. So we want to host a special event in April 2026(18th, 19th, 25th, and 26th) to explore creative and artistic coding projects, and call it Clojure Jam 2026!
We are looking for talk submissions such as:
- Sharing creative coding work, and what you like about creative coding
- Jam sessions to celebrate the event with live music and/or visual art
- Workshops that demonstrate how to be a creative coder
- The fundamentals of arts - like “what is sound or color?”, “how does frequency relate to the experience of sound”, “data visualization principles 101”, etc.
Call for Speakers and Instructors
Do any of the above sound interesting to you? If so, please check out our submission guide page! Or if you have some ideas that need further brainstorming, or some if you have questions, please reach out to us!
We want to feature creative talks/performances, hands-on workshops, live coding, discussions, and to publish all these stories on Clojure Civitas!
BTW
We’ll definitely continue to organize more events dedicated to working with Clojure in data science in the future as we have in the past. But we thought it would be worthwhile to make some time to explore all our artistic sides, too.
