Computer science and computer music at school

The ‘Media and Computer Science’ module is to be taught in elementary school in accordance with the requirements of Curriculum 21, largely in an integrated and interdisciplinary manner. The project focuses on computer science and builds a bridge to music through the conceptual proximity between computational thinking and musical-compositional thinking. With the aim of ensuring that both subject areas meet on an equal footing, the question of how the skills from music and computer science can be combined in a more in-depth way in order to establish artistic thinking as an instrument of knowledge and artistic action as a method for conveying content from computer science and technology will be explored.

To this end, a team of specialists is developing tools for sound design and teaching materials that will be published as open educational resources.
