Makey Makey Kit + 9 Academy Lessons

Makey Makey turns everyday objects into keyboard keys. Clip it to a banana and you have a piano; clip it to a pencil drawing and you have a game controller. Nine self-paced lessons in the Sammat Online Academy take a child from their first circuit to coding their own games.

What's included:

• 1 x Makey Makey pack — universal touch keyboard, copper tape, spare alligator clips, small LEDs and a coin cell battery
• 9 self-paced lessons in the Sammat Online Academy, with written guides and video walkthroughs

The nine lessons:

• Craft a simple circuit and light your first LED
• Hands on a Makey Makey — build a human circuit
• What is conductive? Build a testing board and find out
• Draw a playable instrument
• Code your key presses in Scratch
• Craft and code an interactive story
• Two-player games in MakeCode Arcade
• Draw and code a poem generator
• Three ways to program the click input

You will need a computer with internet access to load the Scratch editor. Conductive odds and ends from around the house — foil, paper clips, fruit — make the projects better. Work through the lessons at your own pace, with no timetable and no expiry.
