Abstract

This demo presents a “digital drum circle”, a collection of bucket drums augmented with sensors that form a collective digital musical instrument. Through the drum circle prototype, we are exploring an alternative approach to computer science (CS) education that draws from cultural practices of collaborative music-making to create more engaging and meaningful learning experiences for young people. Within this context, we are interested in understanding how CS education might be remade through more equitable and culturally sustaining pedagogy approaches grounded in music and the performing arts.
