Description
Makey Makey is a STEM tool that can be connected to a Chromebook device via USB. It allows the user to take everyday objects that conduct electricity and use them as an extension of their keyboard. This provides a hands on way to engage students with science concepts such as circuitry, conductivity, and coding. Makey Makey projects help facilitate the design process for students to create solutions or prototypes that make our world better and brighter.
