Making toys noisy

hy do you make

things? Some people

do it for the pure fun

of creation, others

do it to gain a better

idea of how things

work. We met up with Stephen Summers

of Noisy Toys, who combines making

and performance art to help youngsters

get a better understanding of the science

of music. Electronic conduction, sound

waves, and upcycling are all mashed

together to create an interactive

experience that helps people learn

by discovery.

We chatted to Stephen to find out

what exactly science busking is, how he

makes musical instruments, and what

you need to test noses for.
