Build your own digital instrument using Scratch and Arduino and become a musician of a digital orchestral. After learning and applying some basic we can perform together in an improvised “interactive-electronic orchestra”, as well as share the results online. | Build your own digital instrument using Scratch and Arduino and become a musician of a digital orchestral.

'''What happened? (Briefly)''' | |||
The facilitator did a general introduction about scratch, what it is, uses as well as the existance of a community of developers who share and help each other. This let participants to acquire a general idea about this programming language. Following this, a more practical part started in which participants could use and experiment with the tool. | The facilitator did a general introduction about scratch, what it is, uses as well as the existance of a community of developers who share and help each other.

'''What did kids discover or learn?''' | |||
Time was to short to develop a project and the session was more focused on trial and experimentation with the tool. Rather than knowing how to program with scratch they acquired a general idea about the programming language and the philosophy that lies behind. | Time was to short to develop a project and the session was more focused on trial and experimentation with the tool.

'''What should be improved for this activity?''' | |||
At the end of second session, ambient noise and tiredness affected the participants attention. According to this, it would be good to value if this workshop requires some concentration and needs a separate space. Another think to consider is the definition of a concrete task, a goal that can motivate participants, otherwise, after the experimentation phase, it is quite easy that they loose interest. | At the end of second session, ambient noise and tiredness affected the participants attention.
