Musical Coded Creations
Art Music and Stem
In a collaboration of students,Strings teacher and the Art teacher, this class developed the most amazing musical creations. They designed, cut out and painted creatures of their choice. They inserted brads and connected wires with Makey Makey's. Students wrote code to direct their creatures to "play" musical notes based on wiring. Combining the notes, the next choice was to create music.
