Afternoon workshop: You can use WHAT? Homemade additions to your electrical play

3:30pm - 5:00pm

Electrical toys for a PES stimulator or your common TENS unit are expensive as hell and/or impossible to find. I can show you how to make some rather interesting toys out of common bits and some different techniques for playing with most electrical toys. Bring your TENS units, PES stimulators, electric fences and other jolty, tingly things (anybody got a fieldphone generator?), and I'll give you a different perspective on it.

Admission: $15-30 sliding scale, supplies included. You will build devices you can take home with you. Limit attendance.

Dani Macdonell has been playing with zap and buzz for a long time. She has experience in electronics and first aid.
