Students age 10 - 18 build their own working Light Theremin Circuit from scratch. Using a solderless breadboard with the popular 555 timer chip and other basic electronic components, participants will have a hands-on experience that will encourage them to take on more complex projects like synthesizers, sequencers, and other signal-generating technology. Each student will get to take home their theremin kit for future experimentation! Past Moogfest instructor/presenter Dr. Blankenstein has worked closely with Kramden Institute to curate the kits for this year’s Light Theremin workshop.

** This workshop is free and open to the public as part of Moogfest’s The Joyful Noise of STEAM program, and is appropriate for children & students ages 10 to 18. A festival ticket is not required to attend. 
** This workshop is limited in capacity and offered on a first come first served basis. Please plan to arrive at the venue at least 15 minutes prior to the beginning of the session. 
** Entrance is not guaranteed.
