Speaker Science (Build-a-Speaker Kit)

Summary

A low-cost classroom kit to teach electromagnetism through building a working speaker—paired with data science tie-ins.

K-12 Learning Goals

Hands-on physics; learn that signals/data can be turned into sound.

Undergraduates Learning

Kit design for classroom constraints, cost reduction, iteration/testing.

Overview

Create a speaker kit to teach kids about electromagnetism. Undergraduates will design the kit for classrooms. Cost low and easy to use. We are also tying it in with data science concepts.
