If you aren’t familiar with the maker movement or makerspaces (also called DIY spaces or hackerspaces), I’d recommend doing your own research on makerspaces and the Maker Faire. I’ve found the "Makerspace Playbook" by Make: Magazine to be very helpful.
Next Generation Science Standards Addressed:
1-PS4-1. Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate.
4-PS3-2. Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.
4-PS3-4. Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another.
