Mathematical modeling of musical fountains and light organs – where is the M in interdisciplinary STEM projects?
Résumé
We discuss a modeling project, in which students have to build a device that acts simultaneously to music – either a musical fountain or a light organ. We show how the incorporated university level mathematics can be reduced to the level of secondary education. Being product oriented, the modeling activity has a strong interdisciplinary character. We focus on two implementations of the project with high school students and discuss their results. Here we draw the attention to the role of mathematics in a STEM project, where the presence of programming and engineering seems more obvious than the mathematical content.
