This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) provides $318,223 to Georgia Tech Research Corp to plan the creation of an open-source ecosystem for the EarSketch learning platform. EarSketch teaches computer science concepts through computer-based music composition and remixing, currently reaching approximately 280,000 K-12 students annually as a free web-based platform. The project will take a three-phase approach to planning the open-source ecosystem and long-term governance model for EarSketch. First, an ecosystem discovery phase will gather input from teachers, students, community partners, and peer organizations to inform the ecosystem design. Next, a virtual community summit will further develop and obtain feedback on the ecosystem details and governance model. Finally, a steering committee will finalize and adopt the guiding principles and design of the open-source ecosystem. The goal is to ensure the long-term community-driven support and sustainability of the EarSketch platform as a freely available educational resource engaging more students in computing education.
