Starting in October, A Tribe for Jazz will launch the groundbreaking Mobile Jazz Lab
“As our country faces a massive shortage of STEM-educated workers, it is essential to recruit diligent young people from diverse backgrounds,” says Congresswoman Joyce Beatty. “A Tribe for Jazz is taking an innovative approach to recruiting historically underrepresented groups to the STEM talent pool, while inspiring younger generations’ interest in jazz music.”
The Mobile Jazz Lab
The program features:
- Week One: Exploring the Physics and Anatomy of Instruments
- Week Two: Manipulating Sound to Create Music
- Week Three: Music in Virtual Reality in partnership with COSI VR Education
- Week Four: Portable Innovation Labs assembly; created in partnership with PAST Foundation
Students will dive fully into hands-on learning, leaving behind distractions like phones and bags. They’ll don lab coats, enter a vibrant creative environment, and participate in dynamic live jazz performances led by Jazz Lab
