As we prepare for our presentation at this year'sNIME conference

(for those attending NIME you can

see us during the 130pm demo session later today), it is my great

pleasure to announce a new version ofPd-L2Ork

programming environment (the

backbone of our software infrastructure) featuring the K-12 learning

module prototype. Geared specifically towards K-12 students, the

newfound module addresses the lack of a robust sound- and music-oriented

programming tool for elementary, middle, and high-school students. The

current prototype is a first step towards a tiered granular design of

learning objects that aim to recontextualize pd-l2ork into a K-12

learning tool. The resulting first iteration offers a limited set of

coarse-grained objects geared primarily towards 4th and 5th graders.

This, however, has not deterredBoys & Girls Club of Southwest Virginia

students participating in the afterschool

program from making some quite evolved instruments using Nintendo

Wiimotes and their satellite laptop orchestra in less than three

sessions 1-hour.
For more info on Pd-L2Ork see our Software page. To enable the K12 mode,

simply start pd-l2ork with the -k12 flag as follows:
pd-l2ork -k12
I would like to hereby encourage all interested in furthering the said

tool to join us on thel2ork-dev mailing list

. We are

particularly interested in growing a library of coarse-grained objects

pertaining to sound generation and signal manipulation.
For additional info including a screenshot and a video footage please

Best wishes,
