Kids will create their own LineRider game (free!), compose a "score", and sound design their track using Soundtrap. This lesson is perfect for kids that like to make sound effects on the daily.

This lesson can either be paced in three 1 hour classes or more, depending how long the final project takes.. Usually this stretches even further that that.
