    Theramins are super cool, and also a great introduction to electrical circuits. They're so simple an interested 5 year old can do it if you read the words for them. My kid loved doing this one.

      Also, if anyone is interested in the history of theremin, Episode 146 of the History of Rock Music in 500 Songs podcast is a great listen. It features the instrument's history, a spy story, and the story of the Beach Boys song "Good Vibrations". It's one of my favourite episodes of 500 Songs.

    If you haven't watched this channel's videos before, I highly recommend also checking out The Commodordion and C=TAR. I find these projects incredibly creative. He has also released many performance videos, as well as blowing many C64 programmers' minds with this magic trick.
