TEAC 490/890 Creative Coding for Teachers!

This online mini summer session (June 14 - July 7) is a collaboration between TLTE and the Johnny Carson Center for Emerging Media Art and introduces you to writing code in the context of the emerging media arts. We will learn to read and write code in the programming language P5.js. While we become comfortable with key programming concepts, we will build digital and interactive artworks. Students will reflect on their creative coding process, and respond to the creative and technical work of peers.
