October 17: Makey Makey Workshop
What is Makey Makey? Turn the whole world into a keyboard. It’s a simple invention kit for doing art, engineering, and everything in between. How does it work? Clip two objects to the Makey Makey. For example, you and a banana. When you touch the banana, the computer just thinks a keyboard key is being pressed, so you can type a letter, jump in a video game, take a picture, or play some music. What can I create? Make a banana piano, play Mario on a play dough game pad, take a selfie of your cat every time she drinks water. How? First, load up a computer program or any webpage. Let’s say you load up a piano. Then, instead of using the computer keyboard buttons to play the piano, you can hook the Makey Makey to something fun, like bananas, and the bananas become your piano keys.
