ABSTRACT
This talk presents a case study of how two Chicago-area faculty based at two different academic institutions collaboratively investigated the use of an original, experimental, and cross-disciplinary “Design+Theater+Coding” methodology for the teaching and guiding of University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) undergraduate design students in the creation of thought-provoking and empathy-engaging interactive Virtual Reality team projects regarding global issues, all within the context of a single-semester creative coding course in Fall 2021. This experiment explored and leveraged the relationship between theater, creative coding, and VR technology and considered how the relationship might enhance design studies.
