The DIY Light Controlled Phonograph Kit is a hands-on STEM project that combines woodworking assembly with basic electronics and programming. Built on a basswood structural base, this phonograph uses a photoresistor to detect light levels and an 8002B power amplifier to drive audio playback, letting you program light-controlled music experiences.

Compatible with both micro:bit and ESP32 Easy Coding Boards, the kit can be programmed using MakeCode or KidsBlock. Assemble the laser-cut basswood pieces, connect the electronics, and write code to play melodies triggered by light — a great introduction to sensors, amplifiers, and creative coding.
