Creativitas is a course exploring the powerful blending of creativity and technology, demonstrating how STEM knowledge can be a tool for artistic expression. Over the year students will explore this intersection by designing and programming their own digital musical tools, and learning how to use technology to shape sound and create original music. Through hands-on projects, they will learn the fundamentals of music technology, sound synthesis, and digital composition, culminating in a short musical performance.

Along the way, we will discuss how scientific and technical concepts—such as acoustics, signal processing, and electronic design—enhance creative possibilities in contemporary music. Students will also explore the broader social impact of music: how technology can empower new forms of artistic expression, foster community, and support personal and collective well-being.
