Katie Noble says the class seemed tailor-made for her. The first-year computer science student from Freeport, Illinois, says the computer language (Python) they used to alter their images was one she was using in a computer science course, and it was interesting to use it in a different way. She says she’s also enjoyed meeting students from different disciplines and working in buildings she maybe wouldn’t otherwise.

“This is a learning experience for all of us,” Noble says. “And at the end, you have this finished artwork. It’s a cool experience.”
