Musical Code with Sonic Pi

Create music with code in this fun, hands-on Sonic Pi workshop, where young people can explore programming, creativity and sound.

Calling young music makers! Come and learn how to use Sonic Pi on the Raspberry Pi to create some amazing tunes.

Writing good code is a lot like making beautiful music – in this case, literally! Sonic Pi brings together two kinds of creativity by combining code writing with music composition.  As the creator Sam Aaron says, ‘…(it is) the sound of code’!
