This year, I decided to change up the sound design project in the middle of DIGA 365. As part of their introduction to modular synthesizers, I asked students to create an original sound design for a robot at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. I started with source video from some home movies in the public domain. I wanted students to get inspiration from other examples, a got some great recommendations from people on Twitter. Before creating their own projects, students researched the following robots & the creators behind their sound design:

• R2-D2
• Wall-E
• Optimus Prime (Transformers)
• The Iron Giant
• Rosey (The Jetsons)
• B-9 (Lost in Space)
• Fallout

Here’s the final results:
