Lose all your fears about electronics and hardware stuff mounting a Drawdio. It consists in a very simple circuit that will allow you to make sounds when someone touches you, or using a pencil, even touching water! Don't you believe that? Then take a look at the [http://web.media.mit.edu/~silver/drawdio/ video] :)

==== Feedback/report ====

The facilitator started the workshop showing the participants what they will build during the session: a drawdio, a circuit that allows users to make music with different objects. The activity was engaging since the very beginning. Even at the end of the second session when everybody was tired and attention started to decrease, it was the only workshop in which participants keep working until the end. The facilitator help the participants when necessary, but in general, most of the work was done by them.  

The workshop introduce participants to some basic concepts of electronics and circuits. They also discovered that building a drawdio was something affordable without great knowledge of electronics, with a bit of patience and time. Despite it wasn't time enough to experiment with the circuit, the presentation realized by the facilitator showed them that music can be created by interacting with the environment.

Time was to short to end the drawdios and this was a bit frustrating for the assistants as they wanted to take their working circuit home (some of the circuits didn’t work or couldn’t be ended on time).
