Makey Makey started out as a project that was initiated by two students at MIT Media Lab under the advisorship of Mitch Resnick and is an academic and artistic project. Now it’s both a business and a project with thousands of community collaborators, with more joining the ranks of inventors every day.

The Hula Hoop Controller was created specifically for a student with cerebral palsy who needed to work on gross motor coordination and targeted reaching. In his case, reaching above shoulder level. Katie wanted more creative ideas to help him with this work. She was thinking about how much he loved race cars and wonder

In this project, we will build a basic tag game for our first real game with Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. In the introduction, we created a character or ‘sprite’, and we were able to move it around the screen using the arrow keys on our keyboard or with our Makey Makey. We will build on that concept and add another sprit

In this guide, you’ll learn how to make your own data tracker by creating multiple switches and a counting system in Scratch. This can be used to track data as you wish. You might create a system for seeing how many students per grade level visit the library, or you might want to see how well your students felt about a concept you just covered in class. This whole guide is inspired from a conversation on Twitter where a teacher wanted to make her own exit ticket system. I’ve created two different versions for two types of classrooms. One is a „data tracker“ for libraries and the other is an „exit ticket“ for classrooms. I’ve included two ways to code this system in Scratch and two different ways to make switches. Feel free to remix and hack this idea and make it your own! A special thanks to Mrs. Barr for letting me set up and test the data tracker in her library and Mrs. Schlung for letting me set up and test this exit ticket system in her classroom.

Accessibility Series We love the innovative ways that students and educators use Makey Makey to create assistive technology! In fact, we are working on making a page to feature „accessibility“ projects. This post is the perfect start if you are interested in this topic! If you don’t want to miss out on project ideas, s
