Abstract
Art can have a powerful impact on the value felt towards any given subject. That’s what makes coding in Code + Chords so special. Code + Chords is a multiple audio input software that takes in sound and shows a colorful changing display. Its interdisciplinary use of music, visual art, technology, and coding encourages students of all ages to explore the field of computer engineering. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced coder, this software can be used to investigate the artistic side of coding.
The materials presented in this exchange will be geared at third through fifth grade students. Resources include information about Code + Chords, a sample activity guide from a previously conducted Code + Chords workshop, and information about Code + Chord's online website and educational videos. The sample activity is best suited for use in a formal classroom or workshop.
