 Undergraduate students Ebube Okonji and Nathan Pruyne introduced the music and code campers to TunePad, 

a platform for creating and sharing musical compositions using the Python programming language. Four teams of students created original beats and melodies by choosing from a library of bass, keyboard and drum sounds, instrumental riffs, and hip-hop samples and adjusting the tempo, volume, and arrangement. 

Okonji is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering at Northwestern Engineering and a Managerial Analytics Certificate from Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management. 

Pruyne is earning a bachelor’s degree in computer science at Northwestern Engineering and a second major in music technology through Northwestern’s Bienen School of Music.
