Exploring Computer Science through MaKey
MaKey lets you transform everyday objects into computer interfaces. Make a game pad out of Play-Doh, a musical instrument out of bananas, or any other invention you can imagine. It's a little USB device you plug into your computer, and you use it to make your own switches that act like keys on the keyboard: Make + Key = MaKey! It's plug and play. No need for any electronics or programming skills. Since MaKey looks into your computer like a regular mouse and keyboard, it's automatically compatible with any piece of software you can think of. It's great for beginners tinkering and exploring, for experts prototyping and inventing, and for everybody who wants to playfully transform their world through art and music!
