The Design, Art and Technology (DAT) minor, offered by Minerva Art Academy, brings together students from diverse disciplines to create projects that explore the intersection of art, design, and technology. This interdisciplinary program focuses on artistic technology research, encouraging students to critically engage with the societal changes driven by technological advancements. You'll develop both artistic and technical skills, fostering critical thinking about our rapidly evolving technological landscape and the use of digital techniques. The minor is ideal for students eager to "do stuff," connect different fields, and create new realities. This minor emphasizes hands-on learning and experimentation. The program is structured into five classes, starting with foundational technical skills, moving to experimentation and skill refinement, then a development phase for your own projects, followed by a building period. The final four weeks are dedicated to finalizing projects, which may be presented individually or in groups, depending on the progress made during the minor. The goal is to equip you with the necessary abilities to reflect on and utilize new technologies in creative and critical ways.
