Matt Mets: Laser Harp
http://www.cibomahto.com/
The laser harp is an electronic harp-like instrument that is played by breaking beams of laser light, which are arranged vertically. A microcontroller monitors each beam on the other side of the instrument by measuring a light sensor, interprets the results and sends a corresponding MIDI message to the computer, which turns this into actual sound to play back. Matt will talk about how he built this laser harp, from idea to functional prototype.

Matt Mechtley: Magic Duct Tape Wallet Workshop

Matt will walk us through this instructable by EthanGibson to make an awesome magic wallet. Black and Red tape will be provided, but bring your own if you want a different color. We will also be short on scissors, so if you have a pair, bring ‘em.

See you there!
