Special+Projects+in+Computing

This semester course is designed for the student who took Creative Computing in the fall and would like to continue advancing in knowledge and experience. The course is structured around a small number of large-scale projects which build on and integrate what they learned in the fall semester. Half of the semester focuses on media and animation: students will build on earlier techniques and create projects of sophistication and depth. In the other half students focus on robotics using the Lego Mindstorms NXT system. Students will build and program robots with motors and sensors to achieve goals without human intervention.
