MaKey MaKey
An Invention Kit for Everyone
The MaKey MaKey connects your computers keyboard and mouse to all sorts of physical objects. You can use fruit to control an arcade game, construct and play a musical instrument from materials around your house and much much more!
Scratch Programming
Scratch is a powerful coding environment built for learning. Use your Scratch account to create and save your Operation Game programs.
TIP:
Use Event blocks to trigger the circuits you connect with the MaKey MaKey board.
