Circuit training

Don’t know your Arduino from your elbow? No problem! Host Caro C is joined by guests Ann Fomukong-Boden and Cat Scott as we delve hands-first into the world of music tech makers. Find out what you could create, the best kit for getting started and where to learn the skills. They also chat about the support to be found in makerspace communities and reveal why it’s a good idea to whistle while you solder…
