[sdiy] Electronics class for kids

[John Alex Hvidlykke]

That sounds great. You could also look at some of the (very basic) soundmaking projects in Nicolas Collins' book "the art of hardware hacking". 

Enjoy. Teaching kids electronics is fun - and hard ;-)

Cheers
John

I was wondering if anyone could give me any suggestions for cool noise making projects?  I'm not very familiar with synthesizer design, I've been reading up on it a bit and started putting together a simple sawtooth generator, the one with an integrator and a comparator, where the output ramps up until the comparator shorts the integrator's cap and discharges it.  I'm looking for simple circuits like this, I'm not worried about correcting non-linearities or temperature compensation, just noise makers to get the kids interested.
