Coding with Makey Makey






This week we explored our new Makey Makey and connected a variety of materials to the controller with the wires and aligator clips. Clementines and apples worked great. We also used foil, spoons, jewelry, paperclips, scissors, coins, pencils and other objects.


Makey Makeys are invention kits that turn almost any object into a touch pad and allows us to control computer keys by touching the objects.

The quick start guide was very helpful as we figured out how to connect the MakeyMakey. We had lots of fun exploring and working with our group.

Our next step is to create a game using SCRATCH and use the Makey Makey as controller.
