This course will focus on critically exploring the internet and software for its social and political impact, while learning the technical tools to intervene in purposeful ways. Instead of simply accepting and consuming the technologies presented to us, we'll critically investigate the intentions and effects of these technologies, and ways they can be harnessed or exploited for meaningful social change.

You will walk away with

A deeper understanding and awareness of the subliminal effects of the internet, software, interfaces and interaction choices of the tools we interact with everyday
A technical understanding of how websites and webpages are rendered, and how they can be manipulated through easily accessible browser-based tools
Hands-on experience with programming languages and tools for building your own web-based work - HTML, CSS, _javascript_ and JQuery
Practical knowledge for how to organize data, scrape websites, and classify and retrieve documents from large corporations.
