Scrapyard Challenge! - MIDI / Music Instrument Design & Build Workshop

The Scrapyard Challenge Workshops are intensive workshops co-developed and co-led by Jonah Brucker-Cohen and Katherine Moriwaki where participants build simple electronic projects (both digital and analog inputs) out of found or discarded “junk” (old electronics, clothing, furniture, outdated computer equipment, appliances, turntables, toys, monitors, gadgets, etc..). So far the workshops have been held 100s of times in 15 countries, on 5 continents. For the MIDI Scrapyard Challenge participants build simple musical controllers from discarded objects and “junk”. At the end of the workshop participants have a performance where they demonstrate and present their creations together as a group. No electronics skills or any experience with technology is necessary to participate in the workshops.
