Academics

Students gain foundational skills in creative coding, circuit design, and interactive programming while exploring the artistic and cultural implications of digital tools. Coursework includes lectures, readings, demos, hands-on practice, and a final project presentation.

Extracurriculars

While the course itself is intensive and primarily studio-based, informal peer collaboration, faculty feedback sessions, and independent creative exploration outside of class time are integral to the learning experience.

Accommodation

On-campus housing is not included in the fee but may be available via Harvard Summer School. Students typically arrange housing independently if needed and must be able to attend daily morning classes on campus.
