Learning to Teach, Teaching to Learn (2016-2021)
Learning to Teach, Teaching to Learn is a series of events for educators who teach computer programming in creative and artistic contexts. Founded by the School for Poetic Computation in partnership with the Processing Foundation, and directed by Tega Brain and Taeyoon Choi, the events bring together experienced educators to explore pedagogy, curriculum development, and how to create environments and tools for learning, specifically for interdisciplinary art practices.
