Maker Faire Austin 2007
Benderella's Toy Lab, A Circuit-Bending Work-Zone
Circuit bending, the art and science of modifying battery-powered soundmaking devices, inspired Benderella's most famous project, the Defib-Modulator--a synthesizer expression modulator based on a vintage heart defibrillator. Come by to smear your chest with conductive gel and try it out! Or build your own FrankenToyZilla. All ages welcome.

About the Maker(s)
Dr. Manda Clair Jost Dr. Manda Clair Jost, an evolutionary biologist, musician, and rollerderby athlete, started circuit bending during an ice storm that shut most of Austin down. After three days holed up with some toys and a soldering iron, Benderella was born! Since then, Benderella's "models" have become well known in the bending community, and she has taught circuit bending workshops in Austin and at BentFest in New York City.
