📜 Course Description

This is an introductory creative programming course, aimed at students without a programming background looking to start developing interactive, media-rich applications. We build towards event-driven, real-time processes, and how to design them into systems that implement various user interfaces, behaviours, and graphical outputs. The resulting sketches will form the bass for applications such as games, installations, data visualisations etc.

🗝 Course Prerequisites

This class assumes a high degree of computer and media literacy, but not a high degree of programming ability. A logical, structured approach to solving creative problems is encouraged.

🧠 Course Objectives

Students in this course will:

understand fundamental programming techniques in Processing, p5.js, Node.js, Python, Arduino
apply data visualisation and generative processes
build interactive, audio/visual web applications
integrate various input/output methods and digital media into coherent designs
complete three interactive creative coding assignments
