WED, JAN 26  |  7-10pm | Discovery World – 500 N. Harbor Drive  53202

DIY-CIRCUITBEND-SPOT

Circuit Bending is the art of rewiring and short-circuiting a device to create entirely new sonic possibilities. Join us in Discovery World’s Electronics lab for a very fun way to learn the basics of electronics while repurposing discarded and thrifted devices. Bring a few toys or gadgets to bend or trade, or use one of ours. Older toys and instruments are best, however anything with batteries, buttons, and speakers can probably be bent. Whether you’re new to circuit bending or if you’ve participated in one of our previous classes, we’d love to see you here!

$20 for members and college students   |   $25 non-members
