Music Lab: The Intersection of Tech & Creativity

Whether students are brand new to coding or have taken several computer science courses, Music Lab provides students an innovative opportunity to explore the intersection of technology and creativity. Designed for students in grades 2-12, this engaging, cross-curricular activity offers a unique learning modality for students to hone their coding skills while composing their own songs. During this session, we will explore how coding music can not only amplify students' individual creative voices, but the voices of their communities.
