S9 E129: Revolutionizing Accessible Education with Music and AI
Description
What happens when cutting-edge tech meets creative expression? In this episode of The Teacher’s Pep Rally, we sit down with innovators Dr. Brian Magerko and Jason Freeman from Georgia Tech—the minds behind EarSketch, a free, web-based platform that teaches coding through music composition. With over a million students reached, EarSketch is not only transforming how we teach Python and JavaScript—it's also opening doors for blind and visually impaired students through inclusive design and AI-powered tools.
You’ll hear about:
-
The power of music as a gateway into coding and computational thinking
-
How accessibility is being reimagined in STEM education
-
Why creativity, equity, and ethics must lead our tech integration in classrooms
Whether you're a STEM teacher, music educator, or just passionate about student voice and innovation, this is a must-listen!
