Anthony Bowyer-Lowe will teach the kids how easy it is to '''Feel The Groove''': We can all clap, we can all dance. Therefore, we can all learn to make rhythmic music. Anthony used to design 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 devices, 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 recently: http://vimeo.com/23255137
