PNCA’s The Art of Creative Coding, Mathematical Logic, and Placemaking Through Space Activation: An Interdisciplinary Approach (Spring 2024):
Through this class, 13 students practiced incorporating these disciplines into their respective creative practices while simultaneously engaging their peers, guest reviewers, and professor in the content and design of these culminating posters.
Collaborative Process:
During the course, guest poster reviewers were invited to review and provide feedback to students. The instructor made sure to incorporate OMSI’s brand guidelines and aesthetics into the installation, and review content for consistency and relevancy.
