For my capstone project I’m planning on researching the advantages kids have that have been introduced to coding vs kids who haven’t.  Along with the coding classes that are offered within the DTC program I’ve been introduced to C# through some of my MIS classes.  I have experienced a lot of benefits of learning different coding languages, especially since they are all tied together in one way or another.  There has recently been a lot of publicity towards this movement and I shouldn’t have any issues finding information regarding the advantages.

For my first media object I’m planning on designing an info graph illustrating the benefits of introducing code to kids at an early stage.  I have an idea of the specific design that I’m going to mock up.  I want it to be a time line explaining that there are more benefits introducing kids to code at an earlier age, and how it should be introduced into more public schools.

For my second media object I want to make an animated video with Adobe After Effects.  I didn’t really have the time to explore all of the features of After Effects with our last project; I know it’s a powerful tool.  I’m excited to make the website as well mainly because that’s what I have been focusing over the last couple years.  Not to sound corny, but coding is the future!
