Za 2026. godinu razvili smo novu radionicu Synth olovka, koja će prvi put biti predstavljena u sklopu nacionalnog programa Ruksak pun kulture.

Kroz program ćemo ove godine posjetiti Osnovnu školu „Braća Bobetko“ u Sisku, Srednju školu „Ivan Seljanec“ u Križevcima te Češku osnovnu školu Josipa Ružičke u Končanici.

Synth olovka je edukativna radionica koja na kreativan i iskustveni način uvodi sudionike u osnove elektronike, zvuka i interakcije. Polazi od jednostavne ideje – crtanje kao elektronički proces – gdje grafit postaje vodič, a trag olovke dio strujnog kruga. Kroz izradu vlastitog uređaja sudionici uče kako nastaje zvuk, kako se signal prenosi i kako materijali mogu postati aktivni elementi elektroničkog sustava.

Radionica kombinira praktičan rad (lemljenje i sastavljanje jednostavnog elektroničkog sklopa) s vođenim narativom koji sudionike uvodi u razumijevanje odnosa između crteža, materijala, struje i zvuka. Fokus nije samo na tehničkom rezultatu, već na procesu istraživanja i otkrivanja.

Koncept radionice razvila je Deborah Hustić, koja kroz autorski pristup oblikuje narativ i metodologiju rada, povezujući elektroniku, zvuk i vizualno izražavanje. Dizajn i tehnički razvoj sklopa potpisuje Goran Mahovlić.

Synth Pencil – a new workshop within the Ruksak pun kulture (Backpack Full of Culture) programme 2026

For 2026, we have developed a new workshop, Synth Pencil, which will be presented for the first time as part of the national programme Ruksak pun kulture (Backpack Full of Culture).

Through the programme, we will visit Primary School “Braća Bobetko” in Sisak, Secondary School “Ivan Seljanec” in Križevci, and the Czech Primary School Josipa Ružičke in Končanica.

Synth Pencil is an educational workshop that introduces participants to the basics of electronics, sound, and interaction in a creative and experiential way. It starts from a simple idea – drawing as an electronic process – where graphite becomes a conductor and the pencil trace forms part of an electrical circuit. Through building their own device, participants learn how sound is generated, how signals travel, and how materials can become active elements of an electronic system.

The workshop combines hands-on practice (soldering and assembling a simple electronic circuit) with a guided narrative that leads participants through an understanding of the relationship between drawing, materials, electricity, and sound. The focus is not only on the technical outcome, but on the process of exploration and discovery.

The concept of the workshop was developed by Deborah Hustić, who shapes its narrative and methodology through an authorial approach that connects electronics, sound, and visual expression. The circuit design and technical development were created by Goran Mahovlić.
