\n The\n \n Makey Makey kit\n <\/strong>\n allows you to\n \n transform objects into keyboards\n <\/strong>\n !\n \n Modelling clay, sponge, pencil lead\u2026 All you need are\n \n objects that conduct electricity\n <\/strong>\n , a bit of imagination and a few programming blocks on the\n \n \n Scratch\n <\/a>\n <\/strong>\n software, and children can realise various projects, such as the famous\n \n \n banana piano\n <\/strong>\n <\/a>\n , a video gamepad in modelling clay, etc…\n <\/p>\n \n \n

\n Programming with fun\n <\/h2>\n \n \n \n The\n \n kit\n <\/a>\n includes everything you need to get started: a\n \n Makey Makey board\n <\/strong>\n , alligator clips to connect to conductive objects and USB cable to connect Makey Makey to the computer.\n <\/p>\n \n \n
\n At\n \n Abracodabra\n <\/strong>\n , we use it for children aged 4 to 15, but of course there is no age limit!\n <\/p>\n \n

\n Thanks to the\n \n Scratch software\n <\/strong>\n , we can create games adapted to the needs of activities:\n <\/p>\n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n Very fun games\n <\/strong>\n for the older, to show them the\n \n basics of programming and logic with challenge\n <\/strong>\n s!\n <\/li>\n \n \n
\n \n Educational games\n <\/strong>\n , where Makey Makey is a tool to test the conductivity of certain objects and show how electricity works!\n <\/li>\n \n \n
\n \n More\n <\/strong>\n \n childish games\n <\/strong>\n for the younger one, without showing them Scratch, just with something that comes to life if the current passes into daily objects (and of course the hands of comrades!)\n <\/li>\n \n <\/ul>\n \n

\n Makey Makey are always a must have for children to discover the\n \n basics of electronics\n <\/strong>\n !\n \n No fragile or dangerous material\n <\/strong>\n , and enough to involve everyone with many objects. No time or support constraints, a computer and some good ideas are enough for a successful activity! Easy to learn and to understand, and uncomplicated to animate, Makey Makey allows everyone\n \n to easily test and discover what electronics is\n <\/strong>\n . They can be used for a long time, but they can also be used to keep children intelligently occupied during a short time.\n <\/p>\n \n
