Professional Development Session: STEM + Music

Through collaborative discussion, educators will explore the properties of sound, how different materials used in the construction of musical instruments contribute to their sound, and how these themes can be incorporated into project-based learning for students in grades 3–8. By tapping into the curiosity in all of us, educators will learn how to let students take the lead in their own musical science projects!
