Dive into the fascinating world of sound and speaker design with this engaging two-night workshop! Over the course of two evenings, you’ll not only learn the science behind what makes great sound but also build your own pair of high-quality speakers to take home and enjoy.
What to Expect:

• Night 1: Thursday
• We’ll kick off with an overview of sound—what it is, how it works with human hearing, and its connection to speakers. The class will cover the fundamentals of speaker types, components, and design principles. By the end of the evening, you’ll glue up your speaker boxes to prepare for assembly the following night.
• Night 2: Friday
• On the second night, you’ll sand, prep, and assemble your speakers. This includes soldering your own crossover components, installing drivers, and putting everything together. We’ll cap the evening by testing your completed speakers with some classic tracks (think Pink Floyd!) to showcase the incredible sound you’ve created.

Who Should Attend:
This workshop is perfect for anyone interested in learning more about sound and DIY electronics. Parent-child pairs and couples are encouraged to attend! Participants under 14 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Important Notes:

• Please arrive promptly by 7 PM each evening, as we have a lot of ground to cover.
• A demo pair of the speakers you’ll be building is available in the eShop. Stop by for a preview!

Spaces are limited to 12 participants, so secure your spot today and get ready to build something amazing!
