Thanks to a generous grant from Shoreham-Wading River’s WHAM (Wildcats Helping the Arts & Music), Miller Avenue second graders are using Osmo Coding Blocks to create group musical compositions.

“Students arrange the blocks into patterns, sequences, loops and subroutines while developing an ear for rhythm, melody and harmony,” music teacher Cara Brown said of getting to know the creative side of coding.

The hands-on learning will eventually lead them to create finished jams that they can share with the world through the Coding Jam app.
