In this hands-on DIY workshop, we'll explain how and why breadboards are used in creative circuit design and get you started building right away.

We'll build an oscillator that can make a speaker buzz. We'll explore how this works, and then expand upon the simple oscillator to create some of the basic parts of a synthesizer on your breadboard.

No experience with electronics, synthesizers, or breadboarding is required. Beginners are encouraged to come!

The cost of the workshop includes a breadboard and parts, which you can take home.
