Get ready to strum or pluck your way to the top of the charts on a string instrument you invent in Spark!Lab Smithsonian. Using a variety of materials including cardboard, craft sticks, wood scraps, twine, and more, you’ll create a musical instrument that really plays! Please note: This activity includes access to tools and materials that can be dangerous if used improperly. Parents are encouraged to help young inventors use the tools and materials safely.
