Build an original app for Android or iOS by learning the fundamentals of app development; programming, event handling, debugging, design and prototyping. Create simple interfaces, manage multiple views and learn to code in Swift, Python, Java, Scratch and more.

Digital illustration students build upon foundation skills in drawing, color theory, perspective, and composition to create original, effective, and audience-appropriate illustrations using various digital techniques. Assignments are based on jobs typical of those given in the professional arena such as advertising, user interface design, publishing, concept, and editorial illustration.

Digital illustration students are required to develop skills with both raster and vector based illustration software, as well as computer hardware, including scanners and tablets.

This course introduces students to practical aspects of modern robotics. The students will gain an overview of the history and development of robots,review the work of early contributors to the field, view videos and have class discussions about what they’ve seen. They learn about the features that differentiate a robot from other machines; these features include the “brains”, “senses” and “arms” of a robot.

They learn about how a robot “thinks”; they get to learn of the role of computers in robots and the language used to communicate with computers they get to learn how to use the Arduino programming platform and the Arduino Nano controller board.

They learn about robot arms and extensors; they learn about electric motors that allow robots to interact with their environment, to move, to carry objects; they learn to write simple commands to control the motors in the class robot.

This course teaches students with no basic knowledge of programming or a background in computer science how games work under the hood. During the course, students will create both 2D and 3D gameplay mechanics, learn game development techniques, and complete challenges and quizzes along the way to solidify and expand their knowledge.

For a period of 5 days, students will develop game development skills and enhance their creative side through a series of exercises using Unity (a professional game engine) + Bolt (a visual programming tool). On each day, students will learn the basics of programming and game design by following through some exercises.

By the end of this course, students with no prior experience at all will have discovered how to design and develop their own video games by using the same tools the pros use.
