We’re looking for partners!
Next year we are expanding the range of workshops that we offer, which will be under the name of Scavenger Labs (our parent Community Interest Company).
We are looking for schools and other organisations to partner with to help us develop this programme, which will mean discounted rates in exchange for feedback and planning around the curriculum. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss this.
As well as providing the workshop facilitator and specialist equipment for your school, we will also be developing online resources and teacher training to assist you in running the activities in-house, and to make it possible for anyone in the world* to create the physical resources and benefit from our extensive experience of running these activities for 18 years. (* anyone in the world with access to e-waste and basic tools).
The current Scavengers, Buggy Battles & other workshops will still be available, although they will be further split into differentiated activities for different year groups. Some of the new workshops will be based on activities that we have already piloted, others are completely new. Details here soon.
Drop-in activities in our geodesic dome
Scrapbook mix of original audio, first released on Loskop Radio in 2022, now remixed in sections with extra road drill for 2024/2025.
This is quite strange. If you aren’t familiar with strange music, you might find it strange.
All audio recorded or produced by me (S Summers), except for the vocal samples, and some of chapter 6 (in the pipeline), which features Yorgos. Some audio is taken from recordings of the Acousatron and other Noisy Toys activities, all the rest has personal relevance to me but won’t to you, so don’t feel bad if you don’t make it through.
Quantum Physics is in your Pocket!
Using music activities and performances to help promote understanding of Quantum concepts.
Most people know the word ‘quantum’ from popular culture, but have little idea about what it means, apart from vague associations, often that it is ‘weird’, ‘hard to understand’, and of little relevance to our daily lives. Our objective is to help people to understand the basics of what quantum physics is, and how it has been crucial to the development of much of the useful technology, such as electronics, lasers, atomic clocks, MRI scanners etc. that we use today. Also how it is fun, interesting and cutting-edge.
‘Don’t be Scared of the Quantum Cat’
We will develop and deliver interactive workshops to illustrate quantum physical concepts and applications. We will use a range of means including games, performances, visualisations, music and sound, including elements of improvisation and hands-on experimentation.
This project is in development, with activities expected to be available in the Spring of 2026.
