Hello Kevin, that's a great concept. Yes I'm always open for collaborations.

Thanks!

Hello Daniel, 

Yes! They are available at www.listeningtowaves.com/wavemakers

Our programs develops web applications for children to explore the science of sound while creating music. Think of sound engineering. We have created NGSS aligned curriculum centered on those web applications. These videos are complimentary to our program, so children can see that the things they do in their science class also connect with the world of work.

Thanks!

Your videos are excellent!  I think the teachers in our professional development program will be very interested in showing these to their students...especially Devon with his music production!

Hello Ann.

If you are interested in connecting music production with science and CS we have some web applications that are super engaging, and I'll be happy to have a virtual training with teachers.

You can see a short video featuring some applications here https://youtu.be/pvsie4P7G0E

and see more about our science of music work at www.listeningtowaves.com

The CS application is not publicly available yet but it will soon be.

Thanks!

Hello Sally.

These videos are part of an organic program with many components. We have not evaluated the impact of the videos in isolation. The program, including the videos, significantly improved the children's attitudes towards science. You can read about it here: https://www.nsta.org/connected-science-learning...

Thanks!

Hello Emily,

I'm glad you like the series. Yes, as we improve the web applications we have made for connecting science and music (a musical spectrogram, a signal generator, and a musical oscilloscope) we are planning to make a new round in which young underrepresented scientist are featured specifically using those tools. So children understand the connection between their classroom practice and actual grown-up occupations. 

By the way, if you are ever interested in connecting quantum and music let me know, maybe we can adapt our tools for that. I can see a few connections that can be explored through our web apps (for example musical scales as quantization of the continuum of frequency, or creating computer programs that make random music). 

You can check our apps at www.listeningtowaves.com/sound-exploration

Thanks!

Hello Tabatha. Our main project is creating web apps for connecting music and science through the science of sound and waves (see www.listeningtowaves.com/media). This video series is an addition to that. I am an expert in mainstream media as much as everybody else that grew up watching TV, and I remember my surprise when I met my first physics professor and I realized he was a real person just like me. That said, I am not a mainstream media scholar.

Thanks!

Hello Chanda!

This is different than finding underrepresented people in STEM online, because those people, even if they are URMs, are so exceptional that they are far removed from the students' lives.This concept showcases real people in a STEM path only a few years down the line from the students. These videos are a part of our pedagogy but not the focus of our research, which focuses on using playful web applications for children to engage with the science of music. Teachers have children watching the videos at some point while implementing the program. You can see more about our program at www.listeningtowaves.com

I love it! Thanks so much for sharing more about the program. Students want to see young folks engaging in STEM and it is always great to engage students with music. I taught Biology and gospel choir so I love what you all are doing!

Thanks Chanda. :)

Thanks so much Monica. The projects are going great.
