Makey Makey!

In January we received the Makey Makey's! We were very excited try them out and problem solve alongside the students.

What's Makey Makey?

Makey Makey is an invention kit for the 21st century. Turn everyday objects into touchpads and combine them with the internet. It's a simple Invention Kit for Beginners and Experts doing art, engineering, and everything inbetween.

Here are some video's of us exploring with Kindergarten Students

There are so many neat things you can do with the Makey Makey. It is a great tool to use to introduce students to the concept of circuits and to see how they work. Students can use interesting materials such as playdough, tin foil, celery and so much more to make the circuit complete. Check out some lesson plans. You'll need a computer or Chromebook and a Makey Makey. Try the Banana Piano (Banana Piano) 
Instead of using computer keyboard buttons to play the piano, you can hook up the Makey Makey to something fun, like bananas, and the bananas become your piano keys!
