Goals

  • Provide children with a culturally-informed environment for making music and sound on the OLPC
  • Provide an audio/music experience that is instantly rewarding for a musically naïve user
  • Provide a playable musical instrument with its own “sound”
  • Provide a dynamically adaptable learning environment that welcomes complexity
  • Use mesh networking to encourage collaborative music making
  • Introduce notions of audio and music programming
