Content
This unit introduces students to fundamental coding and programming concepts by applying them to creative contexts.
Students will learn foundational coding processes and practises for a range of cases including digital and generative art, 3D virtual environments and interactive applications. Through a variety of projects, students will design and implement creative solutions to problem-solving challenges with a focus on learning through practical application. Students will produce a range of creative artefacts using modern technologies and gain the skills to plan, communicate and build innovative digital prototypes of their own design.
