Sharing Sessions: Digital Love Languages

An event to invite your friends to happening in 2 weeks on 8/18 1-4pm EDT & 8/19 5-8pm EDT

  • A celebration of having shared 10 weeks together, a goodbye <3
  • An experience to share and express what digital love languages means to you and what it could mean to others. an expression of love languages shared digitally in and of itself
  • A collective gift to those who are curious about what digital love languages are

Here is a message sent in slack from a student, Drey Jonathan, to fellow students durning Code Societies 2020

Notes on what to share

  • Each person will have 5minutes to share something. This can include sharing your screen (slides! desktop cinema! photos! raw code!) or it can just be you speaking <3
  • What you share can be something you already made (like a folder poem!) OR something else such as your reflections on what digital love languages means to you now
  • Examples of things you could show / talk about:
    • reflections on what digital love languages means to you now
    • moments from the class that stood out to you, either in class or even conversations you’ve had about the class outside of the class itself
    • notes on liberatory learning environments
    • folder poem
    • a gift you made for someone with code
    • a hand coded website
    • Learning / unlearning
    • markov chain poetry, lyrics, weather reports, etc.
    • Anti-racist computation
  • It can be a group project or an individual project
  • Start thinking/working on it now but know that all levels of ✨polish✨ are ok.
  • again, what you share can be a discrete project or it can be a thoughtful reflection of your experiences of Digital Love Languages
  • It can be an physical or digital thing you document, an object, a poem, a computer generated poem, a zine, a performance, an activity, a score

Here is a message Taeyoon shared with Code Societies students as they prepared for the showcase:

More Python Resources

  • Natural Language Processing with SpaCy, notebook by Allison Parrish
    • This notebook covers, parts of speech, proper noun extraction, lemmatizing words, word counts, and more!
  • Python & Tracery, Notebook by Allison Parrish
    • “A Tracery grammar is a series of rules that tell the computer how to put text together, piece by piece. Tracery grammars consist of a series of rules and expansions.” – Allison Parrish
  • Web Scraping with Python, tutorials by Sam Lavigne
    • Note, this tutorial runs Python in the terminal, not Jupyter, dm the stewards with questions if you have ’em!

Homework for next week ☼☽

☼ Continue thinking about and working on Code as a Gift and more generally what you would like to share for the Digital Love Languages Sharing Session. Feel free to continue adding notes and ideas here

☼ If you can, sign up for a one-on-one chat with Melanie on Sunday here! (if Sunday doesnt work and you want to try to find another time, dm in slack)
