“If digital media are the result of the meeting and merger of computing and mass media then we need to teach our students computing to enable them produce software and products for themselves.
More importantly these coding and computational production skills are part of the key practical skills the digital user needs. In order to be able to write media today our students need to know how to produce software, how to employ or create digital tools and platforms, and how to navigate and use the digital ecology.“
William Merrin, Media Studies 2.0, 2014:186
Our world is increasingly reliant on computation and information processes, making computer science one of the most essential areas of learning in the 21st-century.
Computer science deals with the theory of computation, algorithms, computational problems and the design of computer systems hardware, software and applications.
During my undergraduate studies I became increasingly fascinated with the pervasiveness of computation and the potential of computing as a creative technology.
I knew that my media studies education would not feel relevant until it included a grounding in computer science, so it was only natural that computer science found its way into my MTA Portfolio.
