There are plenty of interactive Arduino projects for beginners, but for the last decade, Makey Makey has been a favorite among kids, parents, and educators alike. Created by MIT alums Jay Silver ...

In fact, the custom board runs on top of Arduino and can be switched into Arduino mode at any time for more advanced electronics experimentation. The back of the third Makey Makey prototype ...

The Makey Makey is loaded with an ATMega32U4 (the same microcontroller found in the brand-new Arduino Leonardo), is compatible with the Arduino IDE, and fully reprogramable through the 6-pin AVR ...

It is designed to allow the average person to create some simple things, but because it's based on Arduino it's capable of a whole lot more if you're up to the task. MaKey MaKey is currently a ...

It’s a tiny circuit board (around the same size as an Arduino Uno) that connects to your computer via USB and uses a number of crocodile clips to hook up other objects. The ethos behind MaKey ...

The concept is the same as the Makey Makey which is often demonstrated as a banana piano. This implementation uses an Arduino to read the sensors and to connect to the computer running the piano ...

That’s the central question behind Makey Makey Go, a $19 Kickstarter project ... Instead of a USB stick, it’s a free-standing Arduino board (with support for multiple clips).

But Jay Silver created a hands-on way of getting into the headspace of programming with the Makey Makey, a device that straddles ... or even writing your own Arduino code, by flipping the board over ...

“MaKey MaKey is a printed circuit board with an ATMega32u4 microcontroller running Arduino Leonardo bootloader. It uses the Human Interface Device (HID) protocol to communicate with your ...

Since MaKey MaKey is actually an running Arduino Leonardo bootloader, you can use it without a computer bridge to directly control a fan, a series of LEDs, or whatever Arduino setup you might make.
