Description
In this lesson, students will explore the creation of a maraca using computational thinking and recycled materials. The lesson begins with an introduction to maracas, highlighting their cultural significance and use in music. Students will then apply the four principles of computational thinking—decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithm design—to plan and create their own maraca. They will break down the steps of the process, analyze materials, and design a functional instrument while emphasizing sustainability by using repurposed items. The activity fosters creativity, problem-solving, and environmental awareness while integrating music and craftsmanship.
