A big part of our learning is centred around coding. Coding is when you give a computer a series of commands which it follows. Coding is what computer programmers use to create software. To write our code we use a great website called Scratch.
In this lesson we were learning to use the arrow keys and sound blocks to programme our computers to play a range of instrument sounds.
Once we had mastered this we made things even more fun by adding a Makey Makey.
A Makey Makey is a way of turning anything into buttons that control your computer. We swapped the arrow keys for playdough. This is what our learning looked like!
Here is Caitlin and Sulyne experimenting with using their bodies as conductors to control the sound
We are excited to share more of this learning with you at our expo
