Makey Makey

What is Makey Makey?

This kit includes 12 Makey Makey kits for class use. Laptops or desktop computers required for use. First set up takes seconds. Start out easy with a banana piano. Then create game controllers, invent musical instruments, make voting machines, and light up paper circuits. Connect Makey Makey to the world of things around you, and the possibilities are endless!

Makey Makey is a spin-off of JoyLabz LLC. Invented by Makers Jay Silver and Eric Rosenbaum.
