Came across this and thought some might find it cool. From the link:

"Build your own analog synthesizer! littleBits and KORG partnered to make this modular synthesizer, making it easy for novices and experts to create music."

I love the concept of these toys , I think today's kids can learn with these way before 14+ because there is 9 years old geeks that make there own codes already :D
 
I know that Korg asked these guys to work with them for a 1st series of 3 box that was only sold in Japon last year or so .
It does not die , it multiplies !

 7.101 and I will upgrade maybe this summer .

They used to sell electronic kits marketed to 10 year olds when I was younger. Had a nice little explanation of how the components worked with example circuits.

From that I was able to design my beloved "Capacitone," which was a simple monotone tone generator pitch controlled by lengths of graphite pencil fills on a piece of paper.

Young children are a lot more capable than we often give them credit for.
