We welcome participants of all backgrounds, abilties and experiences.
Workshops will be held at Primeyarc, Market Gates Shopping Centre. You do not need to be able to attend all three workshops but you will get the most out of it if you can.

Solar instruments with Gijs Gieskes
Thursday 18th, Friday 19th 5-7pm & Saturday 20th 10am-12pm.
In the workshops, Gijs Gieskes will guide you in building a stick instrument using a beambot circuit. If you have another idea for a device you’d like to create with the circuit, you’re welcome to build that instead.
We will use freshly cut wooden branches to construct the instrument. If you already have an idea in mind, it’s best to bring any necessary materials so you can start building right away.
What you will learn / Who is this for?
– How to connect motors to a solar panel
– How to create moving structures from wood or other material
– No prior experience with electronics needed
Workshops held at Primeyarc, Market Gates Shopping Centre
The workshops will culminate in a presentation/performance as part of the main YARMONICS programme at 4pm on Saturday 20th September. This is optional. We recommend attending all workshops but it is not essential - we want you to take part when you can.
