This video captures some Drawdio fun.

Drawdio is designed to “bring to life the everyday interconnections between people and environment, encouraging you to use your sense of touch, and letting you hear otherwise invisible electrical connections by creating, remixing, and playing.”

Drawdio is a DIY project that lets you “draw music”.

A Drawdio kit is available for $17.

Remember filling in those little ovals on tests in school with #2 pencil?

Now you can do something really fun with a #2 pencil!

Drawdio is an electronic pencil that lets you make music while you draw.

It’s an easy DIY project that lets you create a basic musical synthesizer that uses the conductive properties of pencil graphite to create different sounds. The result is a fun toy that lets you draw musical instruments on any piece of paper. 

  • Runs on a single AAA battery for many hours (even ‘nearly dead’ batteries will work)
  • Use any pencil – mechanical or plain. The kit comes with a 2B pencil, the softer the lead the better
  • Ridiculously fun for all ages

The Drawdio Kit comes with all electronic components, PCB, hardware and pencil. AAA battery and tools are not included.
