Over three engaging sessions (Feb 25 – June 9, 2025), I collaborated with Park Lane Public School and Allenby Junior Public School, schools in the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) to develop a dynamic program for passionate students eager to explore digital art. From coding interactive projects with MIT’s Scratch to composing music with Google's Chrome Music Lab, students had the opportunity to experiment, create, and bring their artistic visions to life across a variety of digital mediums.

Day 3 (Apr 15, 2025): Music Making
In this session, students explored the fascinating intersection of music and anthropology, uncovering a brief history of music’s role in human cultures. They delved into the science behind sound and rhythm, and discovered how music is woven into both society and the natural world. To bring their learning to life, students were encouraged to create and experiment with their own musical compositions using interactive tools on Google's Chrome Music Lab.
