In this hands-on workshop, participants will build their very own Drawdio—a fun, interactive circuit that turns anything conductive into a musical instrument. Whether it’s a plant, a piece of metal, or even pencil drawings, participants will explore how the conductivity of everyday materials affects pitch, tone, and sound behavior.

Using a Drawdio kit, they’ll learn how to assemble a simple electronic circuit, experiment with different conductive objects, and transform ordinary items into playful sound tools. This session blends basic electronics, artistic expression, and sound exploration in a creative and accessible way.

Ideal for learners of all backgrounds, the workshop invites participants to see science and creativity as two sides of the same circuit.

What You’ll Walk Away With:

• Basic Circuit Knowledge – Learn how to build and wire a simple electronic sound circuit

• Material Exploration – Discover how different objects conduct electricity and affect sound

• Creative Sound Making – Turn drawings, plants, and metals into interactive audio tools

• Hands-on Experimentation – Compare and test how conductivity changes across materials

• Creative Confidence – Understand how art, electronics, and science intersect

• A Functional Project – Leave with your own personalized Drawdio sound device
