CNMAT presents a series of intensive and immersive summer workshops for artists, musicians, interface designers, and anyone wanting to improve their skills with Max/MSP/Jitter or learn from scratch. The courses will be taught by programmers and artists with a great deal of experience both using and teaching the software. By the end of the workshops, students should be able to construct sophisticated, robust patches.

The classes each day will consist of two lectures separated by lab sessions where the students will receive one-on-one attention from the instructors and assistants. All students, regardless of their skill level, are encouraged to attend all of the sessions throughout the day.
