# Makey Makey Supported on Windows, MacOS, Linux Usage Free ![Makey Makey Logo](/system/files/styles/media_library/private/2025-07/makeymakeylogo-300x139.png?itok=iGL1PXA2) ## 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. [Go to Makey Makey](https://makeymakey.com/) The installation instructions for this software are explained during the lessons.
