Please help us welcome this summer’s Google Summer of Code team for Music Blocks development.

This summer, we have three projects that explore using generative AI to help teachers and learners with creating musical code, as well as transcribing musical ideas and making lesson plans. We also have one project to create a new, totally revamped “version 4” of the visual programming language.
