Skill Level: Beginner friendly—no prior programming, wiring, or electronics experience required.
Ideal Event Types: STEAM programming, youth tech clubs, maker groups, and adult tech literacy sessions.
Max Attendance: up to 30 participants.
First 15–30 Mins – Tech Intro & Discussion
An engaging, beginner-friendly opening discussion on how microcontrollers process inputs and how electronic circuits turn signals into sound.
Next 45 Mins – Guided Hands-On Build
Step-by-step assembly where attendees place components into a custom 3D-printed chassis, wire tactile keys, and complete their electronic piano.
Final 15 Mins – Testing, Customization & Wrap-Up
Connecting the devices, testing musical scales, adjusting settings or code notes, and troubleshooting so everyone leaves with a fully working project.
