Creativity Meets Technology with Code+Music
Code+Music is about every student, no matter their age, combining the power of music and the creativity of coding to tell their own story and make an impact in their community.
From designing original beats to coding animations that dance to the rhythm, students discover that coding is more than lines of code, it’s a way to express who they are and what they care about. Just like music brings people together, coding gives students the tools to create projects that connect, inspire, and empower others.
The following are examples of coding projects that are:
- Fun, beginner-friendly and pair rhythm, melody, and visuals
- Projects with purpose and ideas that can raise awareness, celebrate culture, or bring joy to the community
- Student spotlights showing how young coders are blending music and technology to make a difference
- Resources for educators to integrate music and coding in engaging ways
Whether you’re a student ready to experiment with beats and code, an educator looking to inspire your class, or a parent curious about hands-on learning, Code+Music projects will help you explore how rhythm and algorithms work together to create something truly unforgettable.
Your music. Your code. Your story.
