The article presents and describes the Code, Science & Music Remix project, an educational experience focused on problematization in learning. It was designed to develop computational thinking from a curricular integration approach in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The main purpose of the project was to promote the development of computational thinking in fifth grade students and future elementary level teachers. As part of the science classes, they learned about earth spheres and implemented programming workshops using the EarSketch platform. The platform aims for participants to learn to program, and develop computational thinking, while expressing their conceptualizations through music. This integration of science and music was applied in a musical composition with the purpose of raising awareness about the environment. Both the musical product and the process to achieve the project's objectives were presented to the school community to educate others about the need to conserve the environment and live in harmony with the SDGs for the benefit of the humanity.
