    Participants should expect to have fun while learning the basics of building electronics and be inspired to transform their ideas into musical instruments. They will have a chance to gain hands-on skills in soldering to make a simple musical instrument following detailed instructions. Materials will be provided – if possible participants should bring their own soldering iron.
