The National Science Foundation awarded Northwestern University a $848,950 project grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program to support the development of a collaborative platform at the intersection of music and code. The three-year award running from September 2021 through August 2024 will fund Northwestern University's efforts to design the TunePad online learning platform to support computational literacy through creative music composition using Python coding.

As the primary awardee, Northwestern University will partner with sub-awardees Meta Media and McGaw YMCA to expand access to and test iterations of the TunePad platform. Meta Media will manage workshops introducing middle school youth to music production, DJing, and coding using TunePad. McGaw YMCA and other community sites will host related out-of-school learning activities. Evaluation and refinement of an integrated social AI system will involve collaboration between Northwestern University and Meta Media. The project aims to provide STEM opportunities through mobile recording studios and equipment with an emphasis on lowering participation barriers.
