Ready Get Set and Makey Makey!

Help me give my students these circuit boards to enjoy coding and expressing their creativity.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Taylor's classroom raised $872

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students love new experiences. They will learn about conductivity and coding, while creating interactive poetry drawings,

cardboard instruments and interactive research posters.

While using the Makey Makey, they will use the coding program, Scratch to create interactive products. such as a cardboard instrument. Scratch has the notes for many instruments which can be played by completing a circuit between the computer, the Makey Makey circuit board and cardboard with copper wires. Using graphite drawing pencils, a student can create a drawing to match a poem which will play sounds when connected with the Makey Makey and Scratch.
