Scout Sound & Phone Speaker - Ages 11-14

🔊 Passive Speaker Sound Kit (Scouts 11–14)
Build. Test. Amplify. Explore.

Sound is all around us — but how does it travel, and how can we amplify it without using electricity? This hands-on kit lets Scouts discover the science of sound by building their very own passive speaker, testing its performance, and experimenting like real sound engineers.
With simple laser-cut parts, a circular sound map, and app-based sound meters, Scouts explore how shape and design affect volume and direction — all while playing fun listening games and challenges.

Perfect for science nights, creative skills sessions, and linking STEM with hands-on Scouting fun.
