This Ingenious Device Teaches Kids How to DJ While Learning STEM Skills

Put down the iPad and pick up a CircuitMess Music Bundle.

There's an endless stream of talking heads teaching people about the ins and outs of music technology and business, but hands-on learning experiences are few and far between.

Kids these days struggle with short attention spans (thanks, TikTok!), so spending thousands of dollars on online courses isn't feasible for many parents. Spending even more money on a top-tier education at a revered university may also be out of the question. 

But a small $210 investment in the CircuitMess Music Bundle? That's easy, especially if your child is entertained by problem-solving and loves learning on their own time. The ingenious device teaches kids how to DJ while learning skills in the field of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).

Now why would you want to teach your kid to DJ? Isn't there no money in that? Well, Calvin Harris, the world's highest-paid DJ, has an estimated net worth of $300 million, according to SCMP. The chart-topping DJ and dance music producer sold his publishing catalog for a cool $90 million in 2020.

The CircuitMess Music Bundle comes with two pieces: JayD, a mix table with almost all the basic functions of a professional DJ mixer, and Synthia, a unique piece of equipment that brings together the functionality of a sampler, drum machine, sequencer and synthesizer.

JayD also offers two playback spots, various equalizers, sound effects and the ability to queue up songs to analyze how its built-in speakers work. It's also quite easy to put together and begin using. 

Synthia, on the other hand, allows users to create a five-track beat and program "custom light shows" with the unit's 121 onboard LEDs, per Boing Boing.
