Students will know and understand the seminal papers in the field of computational creativity and have a grasp of some of the main open problems in the field.

Students will have a successful experience building a system (in small groups) that exhibits behavior that would be considered creative in humans. Here, successful means that they have produced a working system (and not necessarily that the system produces high quality, novel artefacts, though that is the goal).

Students will appreciate the difficulty of developing real-world AI systems.

Students will be able to teach a subject related to their project; they will be able to acquire relevant information from the literature and to prepare lecture(s) on the subject.

Students will be able to effectively demonstrate both an initial prototype and a final working system.

Students will be able to effective communicate their contribution in written form.
