Subject: [ISTEC-Thailand] Sonic Pi - coding music
Good morning all,
Some years back, Sonic Pi was created by Sam Aaron to help children learn to code in a fun way with immediate feedback on whether their code works or not as well as allowing them to live mix their code (tracks) as DJs.
If you were a user of this, and you were on Mac, you would know about the bluetooth bug and, if you have iPads (or BYOD) this was also a no-go.
It's now on the web which is a huge development:
https://sonic-pi.net/code.html
And, if you want to level up your younger students with coding syntax, there is a scaffolded site here.
If you're completely unaware of Sonic Pi, then a music teacher called Xavier Riley from the UK explains it here.
cheers,
Glenn
