Robotic Poems?!? with Lillian-Yvonne Bertram (Hybrid)
Can computers write poems? And if so, are they any good? Come find out!
In this generative exploratory youth writing workshop, we will experiment and tinker around with the emerging field of digital and computational poetics and pick up some useful basic coding skills along the way. Zero experience in programming or coding is required (even preferred!) and you’ll leave with a small program that can help you generate new lines of poetry or reinvigorate old ones!
This workshop is FREE, aimed at young students aged 12–18, and limited to 10 in-person participants with the option to join virtually.
- COVID SAFETY: We’ll be following social distancing protocol, taking temperatures, and providing masks and sanitizer as needed.
- ACCESSIBILITY NOTE: If you have any questions/issues accessing any of these opportunities, please let us know and we will work with you to make sure you can participate.
