Description

Turn your cell phone into an anonymous megaphone

Learn how to convert your cell-phone into an anonymous public speech device in this afternoon workshop. Participants will build a simple open-source electronic amplifier that, once connected to your cell, a speaker and a DIY horn, makes a powerful anonymous cellular megaphone. The workshop included all required components- you need only bring your cell phone, which won't get hurt (I promise). You don't need any electronics experience to do this workshop.

This is the low-tech, open source DIY version of my anonymous speech project One Free Minute.

The files for the CPM are available here.
