The funding will support the development and implementation of a hands-on, project-based NLT module titled “DIY Sound Instrument & Frequency Analysis”. This module is designed to engage Dutch high school students (vwo, 4,5,6) in core ICT and Electrical Engineering concepts through creative, sound-based experimentation.
We aim to design the project in a modular format, offering optional components. In addition to the manual (which includes guidelines for DIY instrument building) and the mobile application, we will provide options such as simple circuitry and an interactive sound sculpture. This flexibility enables students and teachers to select modules that best align with their curriculum and schedule. This ensures students spend approximately 40-80 hours on meaningful, hands-on learning that integrates ICT with STEM.
