SUMMARY:PlayLab: Circuit Jam
DESCRIPTION:Join us in PlayLab and make music by building circuits and experimenting with synthesizers. \nIn this hands-on drop-in program\, participants build simple circuits and create sounds they can hear instantly. Try things out\, make changes\, and see what happens as you explore how sound is shaped through play and experimentation. Kids discover how electricity and circuits become music through hands-on making and discovery. \nDesigned for ages 9-12\, Circuit Jam makes music creation immediate and accessible while introducing the building blocks of electronic sound. \nPlayLab is a hands-on sound playground where young visitors can discover how music works. With interactive stations that feature strings\, wind\, percussion\, and electronic instruments\, kids experiment with the building blocks of sound—pitch\, volume\, timbre\, and vibration. Pluck a string\, strike a drum\, blow into an organ\, or shape sound on a synth to hear how instruments create their unique voices. Designed for curiosity and creativity\, PlayLab encourages visitors to listen closely\, explore freely\, and learn how musicians turn sound into music.
