They will learn how easy it is to make electronic music, and be able to see exciting demonstrations of the physical aspects of sound. | ||
Children can bring their siblings, if preferred by the attending families; but because of space limitations and out of safety concerns we want to limit the event to a total number of ten attending children. Because interest will be high we ask to only register once you know you can definitely attend. And we ask to arrive on time, so please make sure to check the directions when you plan your trip :) | |||

The event is split in two sessions, each about an hour long, with a brief break in between. Attendees will be split in two groups of five children, and alternate each of the two sessions. | |||
Anthony Bowyer-Lowe will teach the kids how easy it is to '''Make Electronic Beats''': Everybody can count, everyone can dance, and consequently everyone can make electronic music. Anthony designs and builds electronic music instruments for a large music company, has a deep passion for electronic music, the knowledge and wisdom of years of experience, and a keen interest to teach. He will bring a few electronic rhythm instruments and effects, start with counting and clapping exercises, and build up from there. And everyone gets to play. | |||
Morag Hickman is curating a '''Physics of Sound''' session which will be executed by a few attending Hackspace members. They will attempt to convey basic aspects of sound, pitch, resonance, and related concepts with a series of exciting demonstrations and in a language appropriate for younger children. Morag is a physicist who most recently explained particle physics using Lego bricks at the Big Bang Science Fair. The full details of this session will be revealed on the day, but here is a sneak preview of a non-Newtonian fluid experiment we tried this Tuesday: http://vimeo.com/23255137 | |||
