Scratch Makey Makey Apps
We at JoyLabz and Makey Makey have always been a huge fan and partner with Scratch. Since the start, Scratch has been our go-to platform for learning to code and prototyping online applications. Even some of your favorite tried and true Makey Makey apps have their origins found in Scratch! So, we wanted to collect and share some of our favorite and most used apps to share with you in hopes that they inspire you to create your own.
