Noisy Toys

Noisy Toys was started in 2007 to provide hands-on workshops that combine music and science. Since then Noisy Toys has expanded in several different directions particularly the interactive installations for events as well as stage shows and science busking. Noisy Toys is part of a limited company called Scavenger Labs incorporated in 2018 by Steve Summers & Mick Chesterman. Scavenger Labs will gradually take over all of the educational content of Noisy Toys. We are based in Calderdale, West Yorkshire but can travel all over the country, and sometimes beyond the solar system.

Steve is an artist and performer who specialises in upcycled instruments and interactive shows that promote engagement. He is a qualified teacher with over ten years experience as a workshop leader, music teacher and science communicator. He has tested thousands of noses all over the country, butchered hundreds of computers and spawned many strange new instruments.
