Let's say you load up a piano. Then, instead of using the computer keyboard buttons to play the piano, you can hook up the MaKey MaKey to something fun, like bananas, and the bananas become your piano keys

What Can I Make?THAT'S UP TO YOU! FIRST, LOAD UP A COMPUTER PROGRAM OR ANY WEBPAGE.

Or let's say you Google for an online Pacman game and draw a joystick with a pencil: 

 Then you can play Pacman by touching the drawing.

Or you could load up facebook or gmail and send a message on a custom-made alphabet-soup keyboard

How does it work?

Your keyboard (or mouse) is an open circuit and you control how to close it!

What could you use in the circuit?

Most fruits and vegetables work great.Lots of other foods work too. For example marshmallows, gummy candies, macaroni and cheese, cupcakes, shrimp, and lots of other things.Plants can work too. Try some leaves or flowers, but nothing too dry.Play-Doh, Model Magic and other clays work very well as long as they stay moist.People are conductive! Connect one person to ground, and another to an input, and you can trigger sounds when they high-five.Graphite from a pencil can work. Make thick, dark lines, and be sure to draw on a smooth surface.Foil and other metal objects will work. Try out coins, magnets, nuts and bolts, forks and knives, or pots and pans.

Bloxels

Not enough mind blow?! Click here

It’s basically a game to make a game. Literally.

It’s a game board that you scan to make a level (or a character).

Bloxels is not just another tech-enabled toy. It’s a hands-on, brains-on, creativity and technology

experience. Bloxels uniquely unlocks kids’ innate creativity by

leveraging something they love: video games. Kids can play fun games and channel their

creative potential as they gain greater understanding of important topics like design logic, and computer science and demonstrate

their knowledge of history, science and mathematics and more

 through the games they create.
