ABOUT THIS SOFTWARE
Makey Makey is an educational electronics kit that operates via a USB connection and alligator clips. Each time a closed circuit is formed (for example, through a grounded hand and a banana), the board sends a keyboard or mouse command to your computer. It's ideal for physical interactions, creative projects and mind-expanding STEM lessons. The kit works plug-and-play as a keyboard/mouse; for advanced applications such as reprogramming, you can use an Arduino add-on.
Makey Makey is a hardware kit with accompanying open hardware/software. The board functionality as a keyboard/mouse is free and license-free. The Arduino add-on is open source. No registration is required for basic use.
The installation instructions for this software are explained during the lessons.
