0. Group Meditation

1. TBC.

1. Questions?

• All questions allowed!
• 2 minutes alone on post it notes, then double group size every 1 minutes until it's the whole group.
• This idea came from Zach Lieberman. He does this exercise at the start of every session of School of Poetic Computation in New York.

2. Introduction to openFrameworks.

• openFrameworks is an "open source C++ toolkit for creative coding".
• What is open source?
• What is C++?
• What is a toolkit? It's something that could tear your own arm off, if you aren't careful.
• What is creative coding?
• Let's take a look at the ofBook, a community made book on openFrameworks, that also introduces C++. See reading list for C++ resources. We'll take a longer look next term.

3. Practice presentations.

• One minute each, then feedback.

4. Maths/coding catch-up.

• What did we decide last week?

5. Feedback

• What's working?
• What's not working?
• What am I missing?
• Lets talk now or you can Slack me in private.
