Learning outcomes |
The general objectives of this curricular unit are the following:
1) Learn programming, even for students with little or no previous programming knowledge;
2) Learn the fundamentals of computer programming using a simple environment and language suitable for creative computing (eg p5.js).
Regarding the specific objectives, and at the end of the semester, students should be able to:
1) Define the concepts of algorithm and program;
2) Design algorithms to solve specific problems;
3) Synthesize images and sound through the application of creative programming concepts and techniques;
4) Use programming as a means of expression for interactive and data visualization projects;
5) Build a small-scale creative project.
