The Interactive Architecture Lab is organising the first Bartlett Creative Coding Summer School  9-20 September 2019.  The course introduces participants to computer programming as a creative discipline for expression. Whether you are an artist, designer, or architect, creative coding can offer up completely new ways of thinking and making.

A ten-day coding course for students, artists and professionals aged 18 or over.

This course has been specially tailored to teach coding in the context of the visual arts and design. Participants learn to use programming to create visuals and experiences from scratch, gain a better understanding of how programming can inform design, and learn how to integrate programming into your own creative practice.

Details

Participants receive an introduction to coding concepts, including data-types, variables, functions, object-oriented programming and simple interface interactions. They also learn to implement simple math, geometry and motion principles into code. By the end of the course participants will be comfortable with writing code within the processing environment for creative design explorations.
