Learn to design your own circuit boards and construct yourself your analog synthesizer !

In this intensive 5-days workshop, you will learn the different phases to develop homemade electronic projects from prototyping and design of a circuit, to etching your own PCB (Printed Circuit Board).In order to this, we will first introduce you in the world of analog electronics, learning to recognize main components, functions and symbols. Then we will combine creative PCB designs using free software and manual drawing.Finally we will build our own printed circuit board using craft etching techniques with cooper boards and acid solution, so you can take your own synth manufactured by yourself and make noise!
