Course Overview

Unconventional Computing is a hands-on exploration of alternative computing paradigms that extend beyond traditional electronics. Students engage with three major projects—mechanical computation, analog encoding/decoding, and biological problem-solving—to investigate how physical and biological systems can perform computational tasks. Through creative experimentation and interdisciplinary collaboration, this course connects fundamental computing concepts with their real-world implementations in unexpected mediums.
