Creative Coding Summer Workshops

Make computational art and learn to code this summer at The School of Emerging Media and Technology's Creative Coding Workshop.

Junior and senior high school students with little or no background in coding and computer graphics are invited to a two-afternoon, hands-on workshop hosted at the Kent State University campus. Led by faculty in the School of Emerging Media and Technology, attendees will learn the basics of JavaScript and leave with a distinctive digital artifact and the tools to create generative art. This workshop is perfect for students exploring their expressive side and curious about coding.

The 2024 Summer Creative Coding Workshop was held on June 12-13 for high school students. Please check back later for updates about future workshop opportunities!
