Makey Makey - An Invention Kit for Everyone

Sobre

Everyone is creative, inventive, and imaginative. Everyone can create the future and change the world.﻿
Makey Makey is a circuit board that you plug into your computer and it acts like a keyboard. Each metal pad that you see on the Makey Makey is a conductive touchpad. That means the touch pads on a Makey Makey can be connected to other things to invent whatever you can dream up!
﻿
Get a set of Makey Makey and start exploring what you can do with Plug and Play Apps. After trying out and playing, reflect on the following questions:
What was your experience of using Makey Makey? What impact did it have on you?
How can you use this game in your training and learning activities?
