My students are naturally curious, creative, and full of big ideas-but they don't always have access to the tools that allow them to explore the world of technology and invention. That's why I'm asking for your help in bringing Makey Makey invention kits into our classroom!
Makey Makeys turn everyday objects-like bananas, Play-Doh, or even graphite drawings- into touchpads that control computers.
With these kits, my students will be able to build their own video game controllers, musical instruments, or interactive art projects, all while learning the basics of circuits, conductivity, coding, and engineering.
We'll use the kits for hands-on STEM projects that foster collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking. These experiences make science and technology engaging and accessible, especially for students who might not see themselves as "tech-savvy" yet.
Your support will put powerful tools in the hands of young innovators and give them the confidence to explore, experiment, and imagine new possibilities. With Makey Makeys, we’re not just learning—we’re inventing the future.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
