About this event

DDS Open Studio Hours

Have media or design questions for a project you are working on? Looking to learn how to work with laser engraving tools? Just want a collaborative space to work in? Stop by the DDS on Friday's from 1pm-4pm for Open Studio Hours. DDS staff will be in the space to help answer questions. 

Laser engraving is a new service the DDS is piloting for Fall 2026. To learn more about the service, check out our About Laser Engraving page.

Build an Electronic Musical Instrument!

In this workshop you’ll get to design the physical interface of your musical instrument, wire it up, and program it to play any kind of sound you like — notes from a prerecorded instrument, a custom synth, or even with sounds that you record yourself in the DDS recording room. We’ll have multiple platforms to choose from, so you can tailor your experience to your interests and background; no previous electronics or coding experience necessary. This workshop is for everyone, whether you’re interested in music, engineering, or both!
