本文件详细介绍了我们在大圣地亚哥地区的几所学校开展外联项目的经验。我们的计划利用社会对音乐的浓厚兴趣，让学生学习信号处理的基础知识以及波和振动的科学。我们的计划提供了一个动手和创造性的学习经验。我们描述了我们的课程的各个方面，包括在常规的学校活动中纳入课程的方法。近年来，艺术作为STEM领域（STEAM=STEM+ART）教学科目的一种手段的整合已经聚集了牵引力。通常，STEAM采取的形式是关于科学的艺术。这种方法可能非常有用，因为艺术能够非常清晰地传达和描绘科学概念，因此可能是深入理解科学概念的基础。然而，这种方法也有可能在作为信息的科学和作为载体的艺术之间建立分歧。对于我们这些探索过艺术和科学道路的人来说，这种艰难的划分并不存在。我们从事科学研究，是因为我们从中发现了美，一种我们可以探索和“带出”的美，就像我们在绘画或演奏音乐时一样。我们也明白艺术中有科学，我们需要实验，研究和对艺术媒介的深刻理解，以创造美或传递信息。这在音乐的制作，特别是在声音的制作中得到了很好的体现，因为声音是通过振动材料产生的，由波组成。在我们的教育计划中，学生通过音乐和声音的制作和分析来学习隐藏和无处不在的波浪世界。为此，他们使用计算机工具来记录，可视化，操纵和创建声音，从而学习波动理论和信号处理的基础知识。结合科学和艺术，学生设计创意乐器或声音装置，并分析其声学特性。他们探索声音如何通过环境传播并在大脑中表现出来。在这个程序的最后，由学生创建的装置在一个公共艺术科学展。通过这种方式，整个社区都可以欣赏到音乐中蕴含的物质世界的丰富性。我们的目标是，通过这个项目，社区不仅将了解振动和音乐，而且还将了解自然法则并不局限于外层空间或微生物，而是渗透到我们所知道和热爱的一切。
The present paper details our experience launching an outreach project across several schools in the greater San Diego Area. Our program leverages the deep interest that society has in music to engage students in learning the basics of signal processing and the science of waves and vibration. Our program provides a hands-on and creative learning experience. We describe various aspects of our curriculum, including approaches for incorporating lessons within regular school activities. In recent years, the integration of arts as a means of teaching subjects in STEM fields (STEAM=STEM+ART) has gathered traction. Often STEAM takes the form of doing art about science. Such an approach can be very useful since art is able to convey and portray scientific concepts with great clarity and thus might prove fundamental for a deep understanding of scientific concepts. However, this approach also risks establishing a division between science as a message and art as a carrier. For those of us who have explored the paths of both art and science, this hard division does not exist. We do science because we find beauty in it, a beauty that we can explore and “bring out” just as much as we do when we are painting or playing music. We also understand that there is science in art, and we need experimentation, research, and a deep understanding of our artistic media, to create beauty or transmit a message. This is well exemplified in the making of music and in particular in the making of sounds, since sound is created through vibrating materials and composed of waves. In our educational program the students learn the hidden and ubiquitous world of waves through the making and analysis of music and sound. For this, they use computer tools to record, visualize, manipulate, and create sounds, thus learning the basics of wave theory and signal processing. Integrating science and arts, the students design creative musical instruments or sound installations and analyze their acoustic properties. They explore how sound is propagated through the environment and represented in the brain. At the end of this program the installations created by the students are presented in a public art-science-show. In this way, the entire community can appreciate the richness of the physical world embedded in music. Our goal is that, through this program, the community will not only learn about vibrations and music, but also will also understand that the laws of nature are not restricted to outer space or micro-organisms but pervade all that we know and love.
