About the event
STEAM: Listening Technology Over Time
Explore the gamut of music listening technologies—from the record player to the MP3 player—in this collaborative, interactive program. Students are challenged to think critically as they make observations, compare and contrast, and eventually discover how and why these technologies have changed over time. Students will have a chance to hold and use listening devices of the past and try to figure out what they are and how they work. Cassette tapes and WalkMan CD players seem like ancient artifacts to kids today! Paired with time in the museum galleries, this program connects music to the devices on which it was played, providing a powerful look at the intersection of history, art, and technology.
Program Length: 120 minutes (includes gallery experience)
Best for Grades: 2-10
