Another student-created lesson plan. It's La Cucaracha!
LOL. If I'm ever at a place selling computers, this is the kind of stuff I do. Then I just leave them like this.
This is one of those new Apple devices that was on display.

New lesson plan created last summer by one of our very own students, Nathan. It's a fun one that combines the iconic chord progression of "La Cucuracha" with programming and creative musical choices. Check it out!

A few years ago, we hosted a Pi Day concert with MAP instructors. Programmer-teacher Walter Bender shared a way to calculate Pi using visual code.
Check out a snippet from the concert for Pi Day today: https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxfIWFNJ6xbsQyMmjZaZmJxgdT7nlCIMyP?si=DG1gwDBgQsdBXj8F
A very happy birthday for Music Blocks creator Walter Bender. Uses Pitch Number, draws notes, and has balloons from another project merged into it.

MAP afterschool student proudly presents his virtual piano creation, built using Music Blocks!
Check it out: https://youtu.be/cQd1bYygY5Q
With the help of event handlers (a concept in computation), he performs Beethoven's iconic "Ode to Joy" melody. This video is a great example of what can be achieved when students are encouraged to build their own tools, using music theory and computer science!
