Make music out of almost anything, just like tech genius, Bryden Bandweth! Complete an electrical circuit to turn bananas into a piano. Or use a flower, glass of water, ice cream – whatever you can dream up that conducts electricity -- and 4 other sound options to bang out more beats. #amazeblogs! Visit www.ProjectMc2.com for more ideas. Picking Up S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math): Circuit Beats works by using you and the objects you choose to complete an electrical circuit. A very small amount of electricity needs to flow in a circular path from the circuit board and its battery and back. By holding the ground wire in one hand, you are giving a return path for the electricity. By connecting the board to something that conducts electricity (like a banana) and tapping it with your finger from your other hand, you are completing the circuit and allowing electrons to flow through you! Product includes: • Circuit board with buttons to select from 5 different sound options -- piano, drums, guitar, cat meows or record your own! • 7 brightly colored wire clips to connect your bananas and other objects (bananas and objects not included) • Cat ear speaker headband to broadcast your beats • Sticker sheet to decorate • Requires 3x AAA batteries (included) • Ages: 6+ years
