Have you ever wondered how electronic devices make sounds? How does one build a simple electronic instrument? Our two electrical and computer engineering summer camps will show you different fun versions of those, and provide some insight into how everyday electronics are designed and built along the way.

Join us July 28-29, 2020 for this VIRTUAL engineering summer camp for high school students, hosted by the University of Kentucky College of Engineering.

In our electrical engineering workshop, we will help you build a small push-button piano on a breadboard. We supply the parts, explain them during our workshop, and talk you through the set-up of the little piano. You keep all the parts and can keep the piano or use them to build some other circuits in the future.

In our computer engineering workshop, we will show you how to use a mixture of hardware and programming to build simple digital musical instruments. We will supply you with an Arduino board and all the necessary support components to build two different kinds of digital piano. You can keep the piano, or reconfigure the parts into a wide variety of other fun projects.

This is a two-day, half-day workshop. The program will take place online, via Zoom, from 1:00 PM EST to 4:30 PM EST Tuesday, July 28 and Wednesday, July 29. Students must have access to a computer with internet access (and, video capability strongly preferred).

IMPORTANT: HANDS-ON WORKSHOP KITS will be mailed to students using the registration address. Please make sure you register with an address at which you can receive mail.
