CreativeCoding2023-2024

Creative Coding is a course designed and taught by David Lynch on behalf of CS++. This course intends on bringing beginners with limited knowledge of computers and programming to a point where they can confidently solve problems and have fun creating works of art through code. This course will follow a cirriculum which takes you from only knowing how to turn on the computer to having a grasp of important concepts in computer science, python programming, problem solving, and general knowledge of information technology.

The core ethos of Creative Coding is to encourage collaboration and expression through code! It's key to welcome everyone no matter their background or programming level and stoke their interest and passion in computing.

Course Delivery

Classes will be delivered on the TUD Grangegorman Campus on a weekly basis. Depending on demand, an online delivery method is being considered.
