Music is math. Rhythm is repetition. If you can count, you can code a beat. The Music Festival pack uses math and loops to create patterns, calculate sales, and power up sound systems.
The Challenges
Sound Check — Print “Testing 1, 2, 3” to the console. Simple output to make sure everything’s working. Every concert starts with a sound check. Every program starts with a print statement.
Beat Drop — Use a Repeat block to print a beat pattern. Drop the same beat multiple times in a row. Loops are rhythm — the same thing happening at regular intervals.
Ticket Sales — Calculate revenue from ticket sales. Price times quantity. Then calculate for VIP tickets at a different price. Math blocks doing what they were built for.
Power Chord — Use the Power block to calculate amplifier levels. How loud is 2 to the 10th power? Exponential growth hits different when it’s measured in decibels.
Concert Math — The advanced challenge. Calculate the total festival budget across multiple stages, artists, and equipment costs. Chain multiple math operations together — add, multiply, subtract — to find the bottom line.
What You’ll Learn
Math in programming isn’t about doing homework. It’s about computing things that matter. Revenue, growth, scaling, patterns. The Music Festival pack makes math tangible by connecting it to something you can almost hear.
Loops create rhythm. Multiplication creates scale. Exponents create power. Put them together and you’re not just coding — you’re producing.
Five challenges. One festival. Do the math.
