Other Details
Parental Guidance
A temporary Soundtrap for Education code will be provided in the days approaching the start of camp. Once inside Soundtrap's main website page, you will click on the tab across the top which says "Education" and type in the code. This will ensure your learner is using the format of Soundtrap that complies with COPPA and FERPA. After camp, it will be up to the learner's adults to create a personal account they can use. The learner will have to export any desired projects from the Education account at the end of our last session. Please reach out to me or visit soundtrap.com for more information.
Supply List
Soundtrap runs desktop or laptop computers using a browser or on mobile devices (phones or tablets) through an app. The mobile app excludes some of the available features. For that reason, using a laptop or computer will provide a better experience.
