Get ready for your New Year's Party with our DIY Party Pack!
Makey Makey® makes it easy to integrate STEM into your curriculum in ways that will be fun and engaging for students. Makey Makey can be used in any subject area to help students grasp new concepts through tangible, interactive, hands-on activities. We’ve developed beginner and intermediate courses to help teachers painlessly incorporate tech into their lessons.
Educators can connect Makey Makey to a banana, a pie tin...anything conductive, and the device will mimic a keyboard and mouse click, allowing users to control computer programs with those everyday items. Students will have lots of fun thinking of ways to build on and interact with the physical and digital worlds.
