Kit is
an
engaging,
hands-on
way
to
introduce
...
larger
groups
of
children
and
students
aged

and

to
the
wonderful
world
of

Using
objects
such
as
fruit,

can
learn
simple
circuits
through
fun
projects
like
creating
a
banana
piano
to
their
own
game
controllers.
Students
don't
need
any
prior
programming
knowledge
to
use
MaKey
MaKey®,
and
no
additional
software
is
required
as
MaKey
MaKey®
is
compatible
directly
with
Windows
and
Mac
operating
systems.
How
does
it
work?
The
board,
a
simplified
Arduino,
is
easily
connected
to
a
computer
via
USB
(no
driver
required).
Connect
an
alligator
clip
attached
to
a
connector
wire
to
one
of
the
six
Earth-connect
options
on
the
board.
Connect
a
second
alligator
clip
on
another
wire
to
any
object,
and
the
other
end
of
that
wire
to
part
of
the
MaKey
MaKey®
board,
for
example
the
one
labelled
"Space".
If
you
open
a
text
editor
now
and
touch
the
object,
the
MaKey
MaKey®
will
send
the
command
to
enter
a
space.
It's
all
very
clever
stuff!
