DIY Synth kits or Other projects
Every year I am part of an Arts and Science Camp for kids and adults. This year I am thinking of doing something using DIY synth kits or something else to introduce kids (and even)adults to electronic music making. Have any of you done something similar or know where I could find some info on how to go about this? It needs to be fairly inexpensive (or as close to it.)
