In the Pantry as children waited for sessions they were introduced to Gloop and Fake Snow by JackieJ and her team
Idrissa, Nick, Ahmed led several family groups with a chance to try drumming, guitar and voice – a laptop was turned into an Oscilloscope and Spectrum analyser with the wonderful Visual Analyser application.
The shape of the sound waves could be viewed – and the frequencies of the sounds displayed and analysed.
A session was recorded using the Audacity application.
Thanks to Sharon for organising this years day and Hussein for the lovely food. The Credu Believe project financed all the additional costs of the day.
