This website sells kits for building your own synthesizers. This could lead to great STEM or STEAM projects in a classroom.

This tracker (for windows) allows you to create chiptunes/8-bit music using software that mimics the original software used to write music on old gaming consoles. Although this might be difficult to work with, it could tie into STEM/STEAM projects.

These videos provide an example of some STEM or STEAM projects that students could work on

I believe this video is an excellent represenation of what is possible through STEM/STEAM. Onyx Ashanti describes and demonstrates the digital instrument he created.

This is a video of a live chiptune performance. This video demonstrates one way 8-bit music can be performed by hacking into the hardware.

"This session will explore various uses of technology to augment performing in ways that were previously unimaginable. The focal points of the session will revolve around exploring questions such as: How can technology be used to include all students? In what ways can technology be used to think deeper about performing music? Where is there a place for digital and hybrid musicianship in our programs? How can we find out how to use technology to augment musicianship? Experience with technology is not required; however, bringing a laptop, tablet, and/or smart phone will assist with the discussion and experience."
