ARTP 270: Computational Creativity
ACE 7
3 credit hours, Online
No Prerequisites
Description:
The core of this course is a suite of Computational Creativity exercises which combine computational thinking (logical, methodical thinking) and creative thinking (flexible, imaginative thinking) to make students better problem solvers in any discipline. Students also hone their collaborative and process skills.
The course exercises are based on principled, thoughtful designs, revised numerous times after actual classroom deployments, and have been shown though evidence-based research (funded by the NSF) to improve learning and performance in computing.
Of particular note is the final project, where students have to use computational and creative thinking to design and document a “tool” to solve a real-life problem of their choosing.
