  1. Creative Computation with Processing Dianna Xu and Deepak Kumar Department of Computer Science Bryn Mawr College

  2. Concepts • NSF funded joint project with SMU (Southern Methodist University) • Generative art -- produced by algorithms and programming • Data visualization • Students keep portfolios, critique each other and hold class exhibits • Creativity is the focus of the class

  3. Processing • Built on top of Java, with a simplified language syntax and reduced API that concentrated on graphics/media programming • Designed for the construction of 2D and 3D visual forms – has a very flat learning curve • Well suited for rapid prototyping required in dynamic visual work • Fully integrated in Java so that transitioning to CS2 in Java is straight-forward

  4. Results • 10% of Bryn Mawr undergraduate students take Introduction to Computer Science annually. • Can easily be twice as many if staffing allowed. • SMU - a more traditional school of engineering – is creating an entire curriculum in Creative Computation, including a new major/minor and a graduate program.

  5. Student Work (1st week Spring 2012)
