Beep Beep Booper: Building a lil Analog Piano

The workshop:

In this hands-on workshop, you will create a mini electronic piano using an analog circuit. You'll learn the basics of breadboards and electrical components like buttons, resistors, capacitors, and the 555 Timer Chip. By the end of the session, you'll assemble your own circuit and take home a working mini piano that makes fun beeping and booping sounds!

Who it's for:

For anyone who is interested in making an analog circuit that makes noise.

Note from your instructor:

Hi I'm Gracy! I received my master's from NYU's ITP program in 2023 and recently completed a post-graduate residency focused on physical computing. While I enjoy working with sensors and motors in my own projects, I’ve helped students with a wide range of physical computing projects and feel excited to see people create with circuits. This summer, along with my former classmate Priyanka Makin and fellow resident Bianca Gan, we created and taught the Beep Boopers workshop.

This is a masks optional event.

As with all NYC Resistor events, this class is 18+ and governed by our Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct, as well as accessibility information, can be found at www.nycresistor.com/participate/. If you have any questions, please email [email protected]
