Musical Code with Sonic Pi - Wednesday 5th August 2026

Description :

Calling young music makers! Come and learn how to use Sonic Pi on the Raspberry Pi to create some amazing tunes.

Writing good code is a lot like making beautiful music - in this case, literally! Sonic Pi brings together two kinds of creativity by combining code writing with music composition. As the creator Sam Aaron says, '...(it is) the sound of code'!
