SUMMARY:BeatBlocks Live
DESCRIPTION:Turn up the Play. Drop the Beat. Build the Future.\nDrop in throughout summer to discover block-based beat-building at its best! \nOur learning studios are packed with cool and inclusive ways to play\, including sensory toys\, LEGO® Architecture Studio and Braille Bricks. \nFor the first time ever\, BeatBlocks Live is coming to to Dundee.

No screens\, no controllers\, just hands-on creativity! \nDesigned for all ages\, BeatBlocks Live invites your family to make music together by moving\, adding or rearrange pieces to shape the sound. Each colour represents an instrument — bass\, drums\, vocals\, melody — offering an accessible way to compose. \nBeatBlocks Live has been created by Edinburgh-based studio Playable Technology\, a group of creatives and developers who bring digital interactivity out of the screen and into the real world to make play more accessible\, inclusive and fun!
