| Key | Instructional Lesson Assessment Unplugged Lesson |
In this 45-minute activity, students will use Code.org’s Music Lab to explore how creativity and coding come together to make music. By creating their own songs using coding concepts like sequencing and decomposition, and configuring an AI Beat Block, students will learn foundational computer science concepts. They will also be introduced to careers that intersect with tech and music through inspiring career spotlights from professionals in the industry, including at Amazon Music.
Students will gain confidence in their creative abilities and begin to see coding as a tool not only for problem-solving but also for artistic expression. The goal is for students to discover careers that combine music and technology, where creativity is key, and to feel a stronger sense of belonging by seeing themselves reflected in the professionals’ stories and backgrounds.
