Product Description

• An incredible introduction to circuits and controls, the MaKey MaKey is about as hands-on as inventing gets. Designed by two very clever chaps in the US, and originally launched through Kickstarter, we’re super excited to bring you this UK exclusive.
• Basically, MaKey MaKey allows you to create computer controllers from everyday items. All you need is the kit, some crocodile clips and an assortment of objects.
• Any material that will conduct even a slight electrical current will work as a control surface; from Play-Doh to pencils, from grapes to Grandma.
• Simply load up a program – games, instruments, word processors, you name it – and plug in the MaKey MaKey board; then it’s just a case of deciding what does what.
• You can control Pac-Man from a pencil drawing, or turn a staircase into a piano.
• The best thing about MaKey MaKey is its simplicity.
• Rather than requiring hours of setup and study, you can open the box and be experimenting immediately.
• Making it perfect for budding boffins, expert engineers and everyone in between.
• Conductive with most fruits and vegetables, marshmallows, gummy sweets, macaroni and cheese, cupcakes, shrimp, plants, Play-Doh, people (connect one person to ground, and another to an input, and you can trigger sounds when they high-five), graphite from a pencil (make thick, dark lines, and be sure to draw on a smooth surface), foil and other metal objects, coins, magnets, nuts and bolts, forks and knives, or pots and pans
