6th Class Makey Makey

08 April 2022 | Technology

A group of pupils in 6th class tried out Makey Makey as part of their recent work on electricity.

 

The makey-makey is an invention kit designed to connect everyday objects to computer keys. Using a circuit board, alligator clips, and a USB cable, the toy is controlled by opening and closing circuits to send the computer either a keyboard stroke or mouse click signal.

In our group we played a piano using bananas connected to the makey-makey using alligator clips. We also made a game called ‘Catch the Fish’ on scratch which was also controlled using the bananas.
