Course Description
Every sound tells a story: our voices, our music, even classroom noise. This mini-course introduces the engineering behind sound technology, from music apps to voice assistants. Students will record their own audio and convert it into visual waveforms and patterns. They will experiment with simple filters and do frequency analysis to see how tools like voice changers and noise-cancelling headphones work. Each team will design a small audio-based project by the end of the week, such as a noise-reduction tool. No prior coding or music experience required. Designed for Grade 8 and above.
Biography
Hello! I'm Dorsa, a Master of Applied Science student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Ottawa, where my research focuses on signal analysis and health technologies. I have experience in teaching and mentoring high-school mathematics and physics, and also as a Teaching Assistant for Engineering courses. I have worked on several projects both in academia and industry, involving signal processing, machine learning, and biomedical applications. I am passionate about creating interactive workshops that help students explore real engineering concepts in a fun and approachable way. I love breaking complex ideas into simple, intuitive steps, because that’s how I learn best myself.
