Overview

Working with electronics is awesome, but when you add some audio it makes it so much better. Mega-super-infinitely better. Suddenly that little bit of circuitry is so much more alive. So to celebrate the magic of audio with electronics we teamed up with RadioShack for our RadioShack Audio Contest.

To enter you just need to submit a new Instructable that involves electronics and audio. It can be a few simple bleeps and bloops or it can be full-on speech synthesis. As long as there is some sound coming out of your creation you're good to go.

So what are you waiting for? Make some crazy device that lets the world know it exists by talking to it. We can't wait to see what it is.
