About

STEM Modular makes electronic instruments that connect music production with science, technology, engineering and math concepts. Our aim is to expand access to information related to STEM fields through audio hardware and electronics projects, particularly for those who are underrepresented in STEM, music production, and instrument manufacturing. We are currently hosting workshops that cover basic electronics through hands-on projects, modular synthesis, and circuit design.

In addition to workshops we have a very DIY manufacturing operation based in Brooklyn, NY where we build modular systems for workshops and select modules for sale to the public. Full systems are available upon request to schools and after-school programs.

STEM Modular wave station

The STEM Modular Wave Station converts electricity into music. It is a combination of audio building blocks that can be connected in many different ways. This is commonly referred to as modular synthesis, and it allows us to experiment with the fundamental components of sound and electricity. This approach to music was developed by physicists and engineers, and while it is more conceptual than strumming a guitar, it is easy to dive into and provides a fun way to experiment with technical ideas.
