Want to learn how to code in a fun way with music? At this hands-on workshop, you and your kids can engage yourself in coding while having fun with music. Music Blocks is a visual programming language for exploring musical concepts, developed by Walter Bender and Devin Ulibarri at SugarLabs, along with contributions from countless youth from all over the world. Walter and Devin will be on-site to guide you, and to help you with any questions you may have. This workshop is for ages seven and up; adults are allowed, but we will prioritize kids in attendance. MAP Family Learning Center will provide half a dozen laptops and peripherals, but we encourage you to bring a laptop with Chromium and/or Firefox pre-installed, as well as your own earbuds or headphones.

Sugar Labs is a community of developers, teachers, and students, all working together on educational free software projects. Everyone learns by doing, contributing, critiquing, and reflecting on their work -- anything from short code created in a visual programming language to a major contribution to a critical project. The Sugar Labs' community has been around and active for more than a decade, it operated as a member organization under the umbrella of Software Freedom Conservancy, and now we are entering an exciting new chapter as its own non-profit. In this talk, we will discuss a little bit of the history of Sugar Labs, what has made it special over the years, and what we expect for the future. We will demonstrate some of our leading learning tools, such as Turtle Blocks, Music Blocks, and the Sugar OS. Lastly, we are open to ideas and questions about our future.
