Surplus electronics are everywhere in modern life, and ripe with creative applications. Maybe you remember the iTrip, which transmitted music to a car stereo? It turns out that these radio transmitters can be hacked back to life very quickly! This session will cover the basics of running a low-power radio station for art and fun, from soldering circuits, to the legal limits. At the conclusion of this workshop, every participant will have one upcycled FM transmitter which is secretly a synthesizer! All ages, no experience necessary.
