• 1:31 Line Rider Project

  Students practiced being storytellers, composers, sound engineers, and animators using Soundtrap and an online game called "linerider." They learned to work through frustrations as matching music to linerider is a difficult task - just learning the physics of the game can be a challenge. Here is one project that features a really great connection between the visual and musical elements of this project. Bella, a Decatur 5th grade student created this music and linerider animation for her story. Can you hear how it connects?
