Obviously, this is only going to be useful if you know how to program in Pure Data. But, thankfully, it’s a relatively easy programing environment to wrap your head around. It’s built on bocks that you patch together to create things visually — no need to memorize obscure commands and syntax. But, even if Pure Data is a bit too much for you, don’t worry. Virginia Tech’s Linux Laptop Orchestra and Sensel included support for Purr Data as well, a variant of Pure Data built specifically to serve K-12 education.
