They will discover interactively and playfully what sound actually is and how it affects their senses. Join them on a journey of discovery and unravelling the secrets behind sound! What makes certain sounds soothing while others get on your nerves? As a teacher, explore these questions using a lesson plan.

 For the second part, a special guest joins the class: creator Jan-Willem Otto! He will bring along his self-designed drum robots with which pupils will create sound artworks, further explore the world of sound and be amazed by the incredible sounds that everyday objects can produce.

 While creating a sound artwork, pupils are involved in programming a piece of music, designing the artwork and its technical construction. They work on 21st-century skills such as creativity, ICT skills, problem-solving and collaboration.

Jan-Willem Otto developed this workshop in collaboration with Nieuwe Veste, STRP Education and Het Brederocollege. Jan-Willem Otto, designer and musician, builds interactive installations and musical instruments in which the user becomes the artist. Jan-Willem also believes it is important to design educational programmes that teach you to be creative with technology.
