As part of a $3 million grant from the National Science Foundation, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Northwestern University have built a musical, interactive tabletop exhibit that teaches the basics of computer coding.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/youtu.be\/rbskTZ7w890\u0022\u003EIt\u0026rsquo;s called TuneTable\u003C\/a\u003E. Students move coasters along the table\u0026rsquo;s projection surface to make a musical piece using elements of computer programming.\u0026nbsp; Then they tap the surface to play a series of beats, beeps and samples. The table will be installed at the Museum of Design Atlanta in early 2017 and Chicago\u0026rsquo;s Museum of Science and Industry in the summer.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe project addresses a national need to make major strides in computer programming literacy for K-12 students.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;It\u0026rsquo;s also about changing the attitude about computation and exposing it to people that might not have sought it out otherwise,\u0026rdquo; said project lead Brian Magerko, an associate professor in Georgia Tech\u0026rsquo;s Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts. \u0026ldquo;Hopefully some of them will think it is a cool, new way to express themselves.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe table includes basic computing programming elements that people would use when learning programming formally for the first time, such as iteration and go-to statements.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ETuneTable\u0026rsquo;s interactive surface uses computer vision to detect printed markers \u0026mdash; officially they\u0026rsquo;re called fiducials \u0026mdash;\u0026nbsp; on the coasters. Each coaster is assigned a sound or programming command, such as a splitter or repeater. People link them together to form a chain of electronic and hip hop sounds. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;Manipulating notes, chords and rests requires a lot of music theory knowledge,\u0026rdquo; said Magerko, who also leads Georgia Tech\u0026rsquo;s \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/adamlab.gatech.edu\/\u0022\u003EAdaptive Digital Media lab\u003C\/a\u003E. \u0026ldquo;Instead, we\u0026rsquo;re opting to manipulate music samples with code. And certain genres, such as electronic and hip hop, map very well computationally.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMagerko said they\u0026rsquo;re also very appealing to underserved populations, such as women, African-Americans and Latinos.

EarSketch students use digital audio workstations and the programming languages to manipulate loops and compose music. TuneTable reimagines this experience within a museum exhibit. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;The table allows us bring the basics of computer programming out of the classroom and into more informal settings such as museums,\u0026rdquo; said Freeman, a co-principal investigator on the NSF grant. \u0026ldquo;Kids can be playful and social, just by walking up and giving it a try.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EOnce the exhibit arrives in museums, people will be able to create their own music and email it to themselves.
