IMAGINE BUYING A GUITAR, couldn't be me...

For the second term of Light, Sound and Time, we studied the concept of sound - what is sound? I learned that sound is just a vibration in which sound waves pass through a medium to the ear. Cool, right? Maybe not, but anyway... the class went on an FE to the Chicago Hearing Society to learn more about the deaf and hard of hearing. When we spoke with them, they explained how living without being able to hear was like living in a society where nobody understands you and vice versa.


For this Action Project, our mission was to create our very own Diddley Bows! If you don't know what a Diddley Bow is, it's a single-stringed instrument that consists of items that can easily be found in your home... hopefully. Anyway, here's a slideshow on how to create a Diddley Bow, how it functions and so much more:

Overall, I had a lot of fun creating my Diddley Bow because it's revolved around music and I absolutely LOVE music. And just to think that you could make this in the comfort of your own home is the coolest part about it. Although there will be some frustrations while creating it (mostly the math part), it will totally be worth it in the end!
