Starting Monday, November 17 through Friday, November 21, The Agenda for Children has been holding its Second Annual Out of School Time Community Symposium. The Agenda for Children joins together various companies, schools, and organizations to create ways to identify and address the needs of children in Cambridge.
The Agenda for Children created the Out-of-School Time Initiative as a way to give kids a way to spend their time after school.
Children who have nowhere to go after school are at a greater risk of poor school performance, potentially becoming involved in drugs and alcohol, or being a victim of crime. As importantly, they are missing out connecting with a caring adult and participating in some form of extended learning.
Thursday, Mmmmaven’s own Andrew Hlynksy will be giving a presentation at the OST Community Symposium on Musically Experiencing Science. Andrew will be discussing the ways electronic music can give students context for abstract mathematical concepts. He will cover topics such as synthesizers, filters, and speakers, and will demonstrate vibrating a string using an S transducer and moving physical objects using MIDI and Ableton Live.
Check out an example of Andrew Hlynsky’s work using oscillations:
The OST Community Symposium will be at from November 17-21 at Cambridge College. You can still attend with tickets to the event here.
