Abstract
In this chapter, a music-centered STEAM course implemented in the European School (Schola Europaea) Brussels III is presented. This course, driven by constructivist conversation pedagogy, aims at students in secondary grade and is independent of their prior involvement in music. In the Sound Design module of the course, which is presented in detail, students explore the world of electronic, software-based instruments through the use of software synthesizers and subtractive synthesis. Visual programming with Max/MSP is applied for the design and implementation of basic synthesizers although dedicated software synthesizers are also used. In this chapter, a brief overview on the composition, arrangement, production, mastering, and development modules of the course is also provided.

Community of Production
“Control and communication in the animal and machine,” as defined by its founder Norbert Wiener. This discipline studies living beings, machines, and organizations as regulatory feedback systems. The choice of term, “cybernetics,” from Greek ??ße???t?? (kybernetes, steersman, governor), shows Wiener’s awareness, extensively argued in diverse works of his, about political and social relevance of interactive communication networks.
