EarSketch is a programming environment that teaches students the basics of music composition and computer science. The platform lets users create music by writing code in the Python or JavaScript languages to manipulate pre-recorded sounds. EarSketch enables an immersive educational experience in creative coding, helping learners understand the connection between art and technology. The tool is often used in schools as part of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) education initiatives to engage young minds through interactive learning about both music theory and computer programming concepts in an integrated way.
