It\u0026rsquo;s kind of a magical way to get them engaged, and that\u0026rsquo;s a huge challenge in STEAM education. But with EarSketch, they can interact with music through code, and they can do things they could never do with a traditional music platform. We\u0026rsquo;re able to create interactive applications that ask users about the kind of music they want - pop, gospel, hip hop and so on \u0026ndash; using a library of about 4,000 sounds as a starting point. Students can even record their own sounds, too.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ERead the rest of the article here:\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.ajc.com\/news\/local\/making-the-grade-tech-professor-blends-music-computer-coding\/5sQNw6jhE3AI4oLlVlNWPI\/\u0022\u003Ehttp:\/\/www.ajc.com\/news\/local\/making-the-grade-tech-professor-blends-music-computer-coding\/5sQNw6jhE3AI4oLlVlNWPI\/\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"28466","created_gmt":"2017-02-09 01:03:43","changed_gmt":"2017-02-09 01:03:43","author":"Meghana Melkote","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","publication":"big tech","field_article_url":"","publication_url":"http:\/\/www.ajc.com\/news\/local\/making-the-grade-tech-professor-blends-music-computer-coding\/5sQNw6jhE3AI4oLlVlNWPI\/","dateline":{"date":"2017-02-08T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2017-02-08T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"587183":{"id":"587183","type":"image","title":"AJC_0208","body":null,"created":"1486600336","gmt_created":"2017-02-09 00:32:16","changed":"1486600336","gmt_changed":"2017-02-09 00:32:16","alt":"","file":{"fid":"223784","name":"AJC.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/AJC.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/AJC.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":109042,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/AJC.jpg?itok=68HOXIMo"}}},"media_ids":["587183"],"groups":[{"id":"1299","name":"GVU Center"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
