Have fun with sound and light!

Join the Soundplay Projects team for some hands-on experimenting with digital tools for creative sound and image making.

For each session, the team brings along a different selection of their interactive installations and objects for you to try. Wee ones will enjoy seeing the impact they can have by pushing buttons, playing instruments and moving around.

Come along and express yourself through electronic music making and visual projections. The team will also be sharing tips on low-cost kit you can use at home.

These sessions are amazing. So great for kids to interact with instruments, sound and light. My son (age 4) gets so much joy from the event. Every time there is something new.
