This bundle includes a Makey Makey Classic paired with the Keytar Invention Launchpad for the inventor in your life that doesn't have of you yet!
Unleash your inner synth star with the Keytar Invention Launchpad — a hands-on kit that transforms everyday materials into a fully functional 6-key keytar. Designed to work with your Makey Makey (sold separately), this inventive kit includes everything you need to build your own shoulder-slinging, beat-dropping musical controller. Whether you’re crafting your first DIY instrument or adding to your maker music collection, the Keytar Invention Launchpad brings a fresh fusion of sound, circuits, and creativity.
Dive into the included full-color ‘zine, your backstage pass to the history and science of keytars. You’ll find step-by-step instructions, fun facts about the rise of the keytar in pop music, and educational breakdowns of how circuits make the magic happen. Each page is packed with QR code links to explore next-level customizations, performance hacks, and build ideas — perfect for classrooms, garage bands, or solo inventors looking to remix their learning experience.
Once your keytar is up and jamming, plug into the Keytarist web-app to make music and collaborate with friends, whether you're in the same room or across the internet. Level up your build by adding accessories like foot pedals or designing entirely new instruments from repurposed materials around your home. The Keytar Invention Launchpad isn’t just a project — it’s your first step into a world of DIY music-making, where learning, invention, and performance collide.
