Let's Get Makey Makey!

Help me give my students Makey Makey kits so they can learn about circuits. These kits will help my students expand their imaginations as they scramble to find things they want to turn into a computer keyboard!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Carroll's classroom raised $421

This project is fully funded

My Project

Makey Makey is a circuit board that connects everyday objects that conduct electricity, like bananas and Play-Doh, to a personal computer (PC), turning the objects into touchpads that control things on the computer. My students in my Makerspace Lab love using Makey Makey but unfortunately we do not have enough for all of my students. The Makey Makey kits will make a difference for my students because they will provide an introduction to engineering and how circuits and computers interact, in a hands-on, exploratory manner. The kits are user friendly and allows my students to be able to collaborate when using them.

There is no shortage of ides and applications when using Makey Makey.

My students will able to not only be able to learn how circuits and computers interact, but they will be able to do amazing projects like creating their own pinball machines, marble mazes, musical instruments, and making everyday objects turn into remote controls.

My students are extremely creative and with having more Makey Makey kits, they will be able to be involved in hands-on engineering activities that will allow them to dream up, build, and test computer-based applications? I have seen some incredible projects over the years from my students in my Makerspace Lab and I cannot wait to see how these kits will continue to let them shine!
