Get Up + Go! Booster Kit

Introduction

The Get Up + Go! Booster kit is inspired by all of the time that we have all spent in front of computers the past few years. How do we get up, move around and use computers in a different way? How do we use computers as a media that we get up and physically interact with? We can use the Makey Makey to build bigger projects, active projects, something that gets us going!

Makey Makey is the digital duct tape in your creative tool box that mashes up the physical world with the computational world. The Get Up + Go! Booster Kit expands your toolbox to include invention materials for creating Makey Makey projects of all shapes and sizes. From a stair piano to talking picture books, we include everything you need to get started hacking the world around you and plug it all in from 12 feet away with the extended cables!

The materials included in the Booster Kit and the inspiring projects below should get you thinking about incorporating Makey Makey into oversized projects and physical activities for the perfect combination of movement, science, and technology.

Can anyone say STEM in the gym? Sit up counter? Makey Makey Bounce Pass? Jumping Piano?
