This seven-week introductory course will provide students with an understanding of coding. It will explore themes and concepts of the fundamental principles of computing. Through this exploration students will develop a basic foundation and understanding of code/coding, and gain confidence in their ability to code small programs. This course will use Google Blockly and Arduino base processing programming language. CE-DGART 2130PE, 7 Thurs., Sept. 9-Oct. 21, 6:30-8:30 pm. IN-PERSON Intro to Digital 3D Modeling In this course, we will explore the world of digital 3D modeling using the program Autodesk Maya 2020. Over the last four decades DCC (Digital Content Creation) programs have become sophisticated, friendly to use, and accessible. This is a foundations course in digital 3D modeling. This course will cover an extensive range of modeling techniques and build a strong foundation for continued work in digital 3D modeling. During the seven-weeks, students will complete modeling exercises and create original works of their own design. CE-DGART 2131PE, 7 Thurs., Oct. 28-Dec. 16 (skip 11/25), 6:30-8:30 pm. IN-PERSON Intro to Game Design We play games on consoles, PCs, and mobile devices but did you ever wonder how to build an interactive game? The gaming industry is an exciting, burgeoning field that requires both technical ability and creativity. Students will be designing and programming games and learning gaming concepts. During this seven-week course students will construct games, design characters, build terrains, and interactive user experiences using the program Unity 3D. CE-DGART 2132PE, 7 Tues., Feb. 1-Mar. 15, 2022, 6:30-8:30 pm. IN-PERSON Intro to Augmented, Virtual & Mixed Reality In this seven-week course, students will explore the endless possibilities of augmented reality, virtual reality, mix reality and immersive computing technologies. Students will be exposed to the technical and experiential design foundation required for the implementation of immersive environments in current and future virtual, augmented and mixed reality platforms. Students will be active participants in designing their immersive worlds using the program Unity 3D. CE-DGART 2133PE, 7 Tues., Mar. 29-May 10, 2022, 6:30-8:30 pm. IN-PERSON Independent Studio This seven-week independent studio course presents a platform for students to continue exploring diverse possibilities and various processes of using digital media to create interactive works.
