Possible ideas include light alarm systems, ‘simon says’ type games, and anything you can come up with! We will start class on Tuesday, September 21st by presenting all of these short projects.
Assignment 2: First micro-bit project (due Feb 8th)

- A short animation
- A scrolling word
- Optional, but encouraged to try a button press
We will start class on Tuesday (Feb 8th) by presenting these short projects.
Assignment 1: Blog and Creative Tech (due Feb 1st.)
Creating your Blog: Using wix or wordpress, create a website to post all of your creative coding assignments. If you already have a blog/website, create a separate section specifically for Creative Coding alone. Submit the resulting link to blackboard so that I may copy it to the student blog section of this website (you should also feel free to e-mail it to me). See the video on blackboard for help in this process.
As your first post on the blog, find an example of an art project that uses technology or computers online and answer the following questions:
- How do you think the project was made?
- How many people do you think were involved with the project?
- How much time do you think it took to put together?
Include a link to the project on your post. We will spend time in class on Feb 1st discussing what you have found.
