Music Blocks is a visual programming language for exploring musical concepts. It was developed by Walter Bender (SugarLabs) and Devin Ulibarri (New England Conservatory), along with contributions from countless youth from all over the world.
Bring a laptop to this hands-on workshop, and engage yourself in coding while having fun with music. Walter and Devin will be on site to guide you through what Music Blocks has to offer, and to help you with any questions you may have.
This workshop will be kid-friendly, for years 7 and up. It is recommended that you bring your laptop with Chromium and/or Firefox pre-installed, as well as your own earbuds or headphones. Some laptops and peripherals may be provided, but there is no guarantee. Adults are allowed too, but the coordinators will prioritize kids in attendance.
