Director of Bands Dr. Haley Armstrong and a team of SD Mines computer science and engineering students have created Score-Score, a program designed to let music teachers and professors find and review sheet music. Score-Score went on to take fifth place and a $1,000 prize in the student division of the 2023 South Dakota Governor’s Giant Vision Business Competition. Armstrong is delighted with the success of this project, saying, “The students have made my wild idea become a reality. Their dedication and vision have taken the project further than I could have hoped to bring new ideas and focus to an idea that would have been subpar without their expertise.”

Score-Score highlights the way our faculty in the Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences encourage students in their own research and help them see connections between their disciplines and ours. It also beautifully illustrates the interdisciplinary and creative nature of STS.
