Parsons School of Design
The New School, New York
The New School is a progressive urban university where the walls between disciplines are dissolved, so that journalists can collaborate with designers, architects with social researchers, media specialists with activists, poets with musicians.
Visionstream worked with the faculty of Parsons School of Design to create an education platform to teach children programming.
Code, Compose, Collaborate is an onsite/online platform for learning to code by making music. It is implemented through a series of workshops that teach youth programming basics while familiarizing them with online issues of collaboration, ownership, privacy, and sharing. Code, Compose, Collaborate uses open-source technology to produce a portable (kit-based) hands-on teaching environment—an environment within which youth can learn and collaborate. VisionStream provided technology support to build this platform.
