The Makey Makey board takes advantage of the conductivity that is naturally present in us to empower kids to create truly interactive projects that illustrate basic science concepts. When “grounded” to the board, any user also grasping the alligator clips becomes a real circuit that real electricity can flow through. Not feeling too conductive? That’s okay! Most objects are able to take your place to demonstrate conductivity, including a spoon, pencil, and even a banana! When you touch a connected object, the Makey Makey board sends the computer a message (the computer thinks the Makey Makey is just a regular keyboard) and it performs the action of the corresponding button on the board!
