We now have 11 Makey Makeys available for use.  Students of all ages had great fun making musical  instruments with them at holiday coding club.  There are so many ways makey makeys can be used to explain circuitry and create interactive outcomes such as (musical instruments, lights, sensors and interactive posters.) See link for some good starter projects. How to Makey Makey ideas   Let me know if you would a run through how to use them. .                                      ...

Upload the photo by clicking in drag and drop files here to access it in your linc ed folder. Linc to appropriate ...
