Live Science


Engineering & Technology

How can you create beats? You might think of beatboxing, drumming, or even just tapping pens on a desk, but did you know you can code beats? Join us for our next Live Science on December 10th at 2pm PT to explore the intersection of beat-making and coding, with a focus on the beat machine and the origins of Boom Bap. There will also be an interactive session using EarSketch, a platform developed by Georgia Tech that uses code to create beats and music.

We encourage everyone to create a free EarSketch account ahead of time. Follow the instructions here!
