Turn almost anything into a musical instrument with Teensy, an inexpensive Arduino-compatible microcontroller. The Teensy 3.2 has a bunch of touch sensors and analog and digital inputs, and it can plug into almost any music software through USB MIDI. In this class, we'll stick touch pads on any objects to make them into keyboards, drum controllers, or trigger pads. No coding or soldering experience is needed, but you'll have the opportunity to do either or both if you like. Bring an object you'd like to instrumentify!

Not required, but recommended: bring a laptop with your favorite music software such as GarageBand, Ableton Live, FL Studio, or Max/MSP.

If you are interested in doing some coding, bring a laptop with the Arduino software <https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software> and Teensyduino software <https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_download.html> both installed.

Take a look at some of these videos for examples!
