DESCRIPTION:Sonic Pi ( http://sonic-pi.net ) is a  live coding music synth
 esiser designed to help teach both computing and music within schools. It 
 uses fast feedback\, liveness and studio-quality sound production as a mea
 ns to engage school children in introductory coding. In this talk we will 
 follow the story of Sonic Pi from its the humble beginnings of this projec
 t in a single class of school-children coding beeps and bleeps to its curr
 ent standing as a state-of-the-art live coding system installed by default
  on all Raspberry Pis used to live code in a variety of venues from Algora
 ves to national music venues. All towards a simple but deep question – h
 ow can we give more people an understanding of what programming is and can
  do?\n\n\n
