Make: Author Kathy Ceceri's new book for kids explores the science and technology behind musical instruments both traditional and experimental. Come see and hear some of the playable projects you can build using everyday materials, and learn about the real-life "musical inventors" who inspired them!
What inspired you to begin investigating your topic or inspired you to make your project?:
I've been inspired by the many wonderful maker-musician videos to be found online, including Wintergatan's musical marble machine and Imogen Heap's musical glove, along with performers at Maker Faire and elsewhere.
