Recode

Catalog description

This course is designed to accommodate students with a range of programming experience by offering two parallel tracks. For students who want to gain greater comfort with code and computation, it is an opportunity to sharpen their skills by reviewing fundamental programming concepts and practicing strategies to systematically develop projects that draw inspiration from the history of creative coding. The goal is to empower students to reflect on their process and teach themselves how to program with greater efficiency and self-sufficiency. For students with more experience, this course is an opportunity to develop independent projects within the structure of a supportive learning community. Examples and exercises will be provided in JavaScript using the p5.js library. However, students are welcome to consult the instructor about working with another programming library, framework, or language with which they have interest or prior experience.
