Construct a clever mini Theramin - a simplified version of an electronic instrument invented 90 years ago. This design was developed by Jay Silver at MIT's Media Lab. It's as much fun to play as it is to build. Accessible for beginners. Rewarding for experienced builders. With an introduction to the oscilloscope and Theramin music.
