In 1920, an engineer named Leon Theremin discovered he could create music and sound by waving his hands around electric fields created by antennas. Since then, the theremin has inspired musicians and engineers to create new sounds and instruments.

MicroKits continues that tradition by designing a version of the theremin that anyone can build, including you! What sounds will you discover?

See the MicroKits theremin in action in our video.

When you build a MicroKit, you're using the same electronic parts engineers use to make circuit boards. You will learn the basic theory behind each part while gaining confidence and skills in circuit assembly.

But the learning doesn't stop when you complete your kit. With the finished theremin, you can experiment with the electric fields it uses to sense the environment. Discover how this mysterious force of physics works!

Everything you need to succeed is included in the box, including 30 electronic parts, the 22 page step by step booklet, and 3 AA batteries. No tools are needed, so you can start building right away.

Unlike other electronic kits, MicroKits are build without soldering or any other tools. Just place parts in the breadboard to make electrical connections.

The building process is broken up into stages, so you can check your work as you go.
