Overview
This course deepens into programming, diving into user interactions, physics, motion, sound, and inputs. Students will obtain a solid foundation of programming that will allow them to create interactive experiences and animations. Learning how to create printable artwork, navigate a real-time generated 3D environment or detect user poses with a webcam are just a few themes that will allow students to create interactions within a screen or an interactive installation where their creativity is the limit, while extending their knowledge of programming through fun and interactive exercises. The final project will be a real-time creative coding experiment on a theme of the students’ choosing.

Prerequisites
This course is one of three in a wholistic series.
Students that have already taken MSL-111 and those with prior experience with HTML, CSS, and Javascript building simple web pages will be good candidates for this module.
A career in web design requires different degrees of interaction with developers, sometimes even moving into a frontend developer career. Getting familiar with the basics of programming and acquiring essential knowledge of Web Development will improve how you communicate with the developer members of your team to create better projects more efficiently. In this course, we will learn the principles of interactivity with code. Using Javascript, HTML, and CSS, a parallax scrollable landing page will be created that will challenge our creativity.
