iMUSCICA 2018

ABOUT THE COURSE

iMuSciCA Summer School 2018 is offering an interdisciplinary experience that encourages STEAM pedagogy through ICT. It offers a solution based on an innovative educational approach that addresses secondary school students. The purpose of iMuSciCA is to design and implement a suite of software tools and services on top of embedded on a workbench that will deliver interactive music activities.

The solution intends to support mastery of core academic content on STEM subjects (Physics, Geometry, Mathematics, and Technology/Engineering), and to develop students’ creativity and deeper learning skills through their engagement in music activities.

Participation in this course can be funded by the Erasmus+ Programme (Key Action 1, Mobility project for school education staff).

Objectives

The iMuSciCA workbench includes a number of activity environments and tools that explore original and innovative enabling technologies. The activity environments, categorized according to the different STEAM domains of music, science/maths and engineering/technology, are presented below:

3D Musical Instrument Design
Musical Instrument Performance
Drawing Canvas for Music Creation
Sonification of mathematical equations and geometric curves
Geometry and Algebra Tools

Methodology

STEAM stands for Science Technology Engineering Arts and Mathematics, though “A”, as the term keeps spreading the word of this innovative approach around Europe, tends to mean rather “All disciplines” in nowadays. STEAM pedagogy connects different disciplines with each other on an inquiry and collaborative manner. It brings new pedagogical methodologies in the classroom, with the use of state of the art educational technology tools. This way active, discovery-based, and more engaging learning can be facilitated, with opportunities for collaboration, co-creation and collective knowledge building. The iMuSciCA STEAM pedagogy will address different disciplines such as music, science/maths and engineering/technology. The STEAM pedagogy will let children play, discover and design within those disciplines.
