/********************************************************************/

Nikki Pugh presents a workshop exploring the basics of circuit bending. Add a light sensor to a desk toy in order to distort the sounds it makes by waving your hand over it. A bit like this:

This workshop will guide you through the basics of soldering and the sometimes-a-bit-tricky steps needed to modify the toy's circuit. At the end of the workshop you'll have an 'improved' button to take home with you. Prior experience of soldering isn't necessary, but a high tolerance of beepy noises is essential. All workshop materials will be provided. Helpers from teh fizzPOP hackersapce will be around to assist.

Please note that this workshop will be running alongside the Glitch Codec Tutorial. Please only sign up to one of them!
