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
