    • Designing Technology through Diverse Cultural Practices . MAT 111NW

    This course redefines technology by examining Black, Indigenous and other diverse computational contributions to global innovation. Students explore practices like braiding and crocheting as algorithmic design; DJing as data manipulation and signal processing; and sustainable film development as an alternative approach to materials science. Hands-on projects uncover the computational principles embedded in these traditions, challenging students to rethink technology, embrace new paradigms of creativity and develop technical skills and cultural awareness. Students of all levels of familiarity with technology, art and design are welcome.
