Publications

We created Conductive Music CIC to contribute to a series of issues across Education, Music Technology and Engineering. All of the data we collect – online feedback forms, interviews with students, staff and practitioners and autobiographical reflections – is analysed through quantitative and qualitative methods, leading to a number of academic peer reviewed and specialist publications.

We strive to publish all our findings open access. Should you wish to quote our work, please consult the various articles and consider that all the material is protected by: a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License

The issues we are investigating at the moment are:

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) to STEAM (add Arts); How to encourage more girls into STEAM careers; How to boost the engagement of youth from challenging backgrounds; Integration of Open Source (F/OSS) into school activities; Discreet, continuous and homemade sensors to contribute to Tangible Computing.
