Project Description

Bring STEAM concepts to life with programmable art. Students assemble, design, and program their very own masterpieces with customizable lights and sounds that enrich their artistic themes. Along the way, students learn about the science of light and sound, how electricity and circuits work, and how echolocation can be mimicked with technology. This project supports Social and Emotional Learning through activities that allow students to relate how sound and color affect how they feel.
