About This Session
Elby is DJing a set at the robot music festival - but he forgot to write any music! We have to help write some music quick!
- Components: buzzer, micro:bit buttons
- Concepts: pattern recognition, melody blocks
- Guiding Question: How can we write music using code?
How Did They Do That?
Elby’s got the mic, the lights, and absolutely no set list — the robot music festival, “Cardstock,” starts in minutes and he still hasn’t written a single song! Get ready for a behind-the-scenes find out how we turned Elby into a Robot DJ, our beat-dropping, buzzer-blaring dive with melody and code. Amanda Jeane sits down with Matt and Kelsey to talk about music, melody blocks, and a handful of cardboard puns that became CodeJoy’s very own music festival.
