If so, then you have to make it on July 10th at IKLECTIK, where musician and instrument designer/hacker Tasos Stamou will be leading the first workshop tailored to younger audiences.
Kids and their parents will be introduced to the art of circuit bending by modifying and transforming recycled simple electronic toy gadgets into more sophisticated music interfaces, capable of more fun and more creativity.
