In this workshop, computer science and music teachers will explore EarSketch, an platform that combines Python coding with music production. Tailored for grades 5-12, the session will introduce participants to using Python within EarSketch to create engaging music-driven lessons.

Learn how to integrate EarSketch into both computer science and music curricula, empowering students to develop coding skills while composing original music. By the end of the workshop, teachers will have hands-on experience creating projects and practical ideas for classroom implementation. No prior coding or music experience is required.

Learning Outcomes:
- Understand the Basics of EarSketch: Participants will become familiar with the EarSketch platform and its capabilities in combining Python coding with music production.
- Apply Python in a Creative Context: Teachers will learn how to use Python within EarSketch to compose and manipulate music.
- Integrate Coding and Music into the Curriculum: Attendees will explore strategies for blending EarSketch into both computer science and music lessons for grades 5-12.
- Create Engaging Lesson Plans: Participants will develop ideas for interactive lessons that leverage EarSketch to teach coding.
- Gain Hands-On Experience: Teachers will have the opportunity to create their own music projects using Python in EarSketch.
- Build Confidence in Teaching with Technology: Educators will leave with practical knowledge and the confidence to teach coding through music without prior experience.

Video games offer a power learning experience for students as they are relatable and often engaging once the ability to design unique games is introduced. Through this workshop, we look at how video games can be created through a unique approach in the P5.js programming language. By first recreating a simulated environment using real-world collisions and physics, we can add visuals and aesthetics to our algorithms to create unique video games while also developing real-world abilities in computer programming! Suitable for students with some prior coding experience, P5.js may be the perfect addition to your middle or high school computer science classroom! In this workshop, we start from the basics as we learn to create engaging visuals, autonomous programs, and exciting applications in the P5.js platform.
