Diversity in Computer Music - Max Workshop Scholarship
Diversity in Computer Music Scholarship for Programming Max/MSP: Structuring Interactive Software for Digital Arts
Summer workshop opportunities to study Max/MSP/Jitter
GOAL:
Previously known as "Women in Computer Music Scholarship", this scholarship has been expanded since 2018 to promote the engagement of students from underrepresented backgrounds in the field of electronic and computer music, including women, ethnic minorities, gender minorities, low-income, and 1st-generation students.
HOW IT WORKS:
A minimum of 2 (two) applicants will be selected to attend each of CCRMA's Max/MSP/Jitter workshops (Part 1 "Safe and Friendly Introduction to Max" and Part 2 "Really Understanding Max") with full tuition scholarship. Additional applicants may receive partial scholarships. You may apply for a scholarship for either or both weeks. A certificate will be given to each participant upon successful completion of the workshop.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
The workshop is a fun, fast-paced course dedicated to the creation of interactive audio and/or visual projects using Max. The class will consist of online video lectures from Matt Wright's online Kadenze course in conjunction with daily hands-on lab sessions addressing questions, exploring further discussion, and mentoring student project(s).
