Get kids up out of their chairs and inventing with their whole bodies. The Makey Makey Get Up + Go! Booster Kit is an add-on for the Makey Makey that swaps small desk projects for big, active ones — floor pianos you play with your feet, stomp-switch races, hula-hoop drawing machines and more. Its extended cables let you build and connect from up to 3.6 metres (12 ft) away, so the whole room becomes the invention.
What's included:
- Longer alligator clip wires and connector wires for room-sized builds
- Extra alligator clips and a roll of conductive fabric tape
- An adjustable wristband, so the wearer becomes part of the circuit
- Project guides, each paired with a free Makey Makey app
- Suitable for ages 8 and up
What your child practises:
- Circuits and conductivity — on a bigger, more physical scale
- Linking movement and play to cause and effect on screen
- Creative problem-solving as they design active, whole-body inventions
- A hands-on way to bring STEM into PE, the hall or the playground
A great add-on for classrooms and homes that want to get active with technology. This is a booster kit, not a full set — a Makey Makey Classic board is required and sold separately.
