Have you ever wondered why music sounds the way it does? Why are some combinations of notes pleasant while others are unpleasant? Or why do some sounds make us feel joyful and others melancholy? Students in Drexel's Math, Music and Coding Camp will investigate these harmonic questions through the lens of mathematics.


In this one-week non-residential program, we'll explore how math can help us make sense of different aspects of sound and music. Each day, students will apply musical and mathematical concepts using a coding platform called Sonic Pi, an open-source live coding language for music creation and performance used by professional musicians, VR developers, and programmers. This program is open to students regardless of musical background. We will be using algebra and trigonometry, but calculus is not a prerequisite.
In-person, non-residential, meals included. Students must cover transportation to/from program sites.
What to Bring: Laptop, headphones, notebook
Rising high school juniors and seniors
