In your submission, just explain how you’d use the Makey Makey in your practice and who you would use it with. Submissions due by midnight Nov 7 2020.
The top 10-15 entries with the best ideas for use cases will win entry into the course. The course works best when you have a client and specific use case in mind.
Winners will be sent a Makey Makey kit, and some materials for making their projects!
Jan 26, 2021 is our Makey Makey Show and Tell. At this webinar, participants will showcase their projects. The participant with the most creative use of the Makey Makey will win the grand prize! Afterwards, we will highlight all projects in a blog.
We will also add all designs onto the Makers Making Change website and forum. This way, other disability professionals and their clients will benefit!
