SporkLogic - EMF Explorer Badge Soldering Kit | DIY Kit
The EMF Explorer Badge is an electromagnetic frequency sensing circuit that lets you listen to the world of hidden electromagnetic frequencies all around you! So much can be discovered through listening. The way that Bluetooth hardware sounds when it’s operating. How cellphones sound when they are transmitting data. What a laptop touchpad sounds like when it detects touch. The electronics world is invisibly emitting sounds around us all the time that we are mostly unaware of. The beautifully detailed art on the completed PCB can also be worn as a badge on a lanyard, used to illuminate yourself at night, and be ready to sniff out hidden (and possibly otherworldly!) EMF signals with the use of headphones or an external speaker.
No previous electronics experience is required to appreciate and use this badge, and it’s a great way to learn more about your world by exploring the different properties of our surroundings.
Please note: This kit requires soldering and runs on two AAA batteries (not included). Ages 11 and up, with appropriate adult supervision required.

SporkLogic is the brainchild of Darcy Neal, who is a new media artist, cyborg, and educator. With a background in sculpture, electronics, and experimental music, their work has evolved over the years to explore a wide breadth of curiosities involving interactive installations and experimental circuitry.
They are an ongoing teaching artist, focusing on electronics workshops at makerspaces and universities. They embody a variety of practices, including additive fabrication and PCB design, and continue to build momentum and share knowledge via workshops and education around their creative explorations.
