EXTN1019B is running in 2025 and is open to year 12 students who completed EXTN1019A in 2024. EXTN1019A (year 11) is not running in 2025. Creative Computing Extension will conclude at the end of 2025.
This isn’t just a creative arts course, and it’s not just a “coding” course: you’ll be working in both of those domains at the same time, and (we hope) you’ll have a lot of fun in the process.
Creative Computing includes both “code art” & “code music” elements, and students will start by covering the basics of programming from both perspectives. After this introductory period, students will be allowed to choose one stream or the other (music or visuals) as the focus for their major project—a final creative work to be presented in the end-of-year exhibition.
The course caters to two types of students:
-
those with an interest in and aptitude for IT (especially computer programming) who wish to apply and develop these skills in new and creative directions
-
students with an interest in and aptitude for the creative arts (e.g. playing a musical instrument, painting/drawing) who are keen to incorporate & technology in their creative practice (but haven’t necessarily done any IT or programming courses).
