Final Project Assignment

You have two weeks to complete your final project.

  • DESCRIPTION

    • Your final project is an open-ended creative project that builds off or is inspired by the concepts in this class. It is also an opportunity to push your abilities to produce something that utilizes what you have learned.
    • There is no requirement to use a particular aspect of programming. Focus on an idea that excites you and choose the best programming concepts and tools to help you realize it.
    • You can take something you've already made and develop it further or create something entirely new.
    • Final projects can be one part of a larger project integrated with a different class.
    • Final projects can be collaborations with anyone in any class. Group projects are welcome and encouraged, and it is expected that everyone contribute their own code to the project.
    • It’s okay to keep things simple and small in scope. If your project idea is a big one, consider documenting the larger idea but implementing just a small piece of it.

Assignment due the night before our next class:

  • Begin your final project, submit work in progress for review in next class.

  • Submit links to post and sketches in this form.

Week 13 prototype presentation

In class

  • Final Project work in progress review

Assignment Final Project Presentation

  • Prepare a 5 minute presentation to demonstrate what your project does that emphasizes its computational aspects. Ideas for what you can shape your presentation:

    • Big Question to Think About: How did "coding" this project help you understand what you were doing in a different way?
    • You don't have to explain the whole thing. Pick one algorithm you wrote and deconstruct it for us.
    • If your project is interactive, be prepared to have someone else in the class interact with it to demo what it does. (This includes preparing clear instructions.)
    • If your project is an interactive instrument intended for performance, be prepared to perform a composed piece.
    • If your project can only be demo'd outside of class, please show a short video (< 2 minutes) of the experience.
    • If your project was a collaboration, explain what part you did.
  • Post documentation in the form of a blog post. Ideally something visual, some written thoughts, and code. How do you feel about WHY you want to use code in your work now compared with the beginning of the semester? If you are struggling with your sketch and can't get things to work, you should feel free to put your energy into writing about what didn't work (and vent any frustrations!).
