Project Details

Project Description

We will run a series of music making workshops that inform the design of new electronic instruments for kids with and without disability. The workshops will take up to 25 kids between the ages of 6-13 on a magical audio-visual story of musical instruments. Using our new custom built electronic instrument that converts movement into sound, each group of kids will develop a collaborative performance while learning about connections between dance, music, lights, and new technologies such as 3D printing, sensors and coding.
