📝📝📝 VIDEO DESCRIPTION 📝📝📝

In this Makey Makey Basics tutorial, I’ll introduce new learners and educators to the Makey Makey device. We can connect the Makey Makey directly to the computer as it is essentially a keyboard or mouse. We can immediately start using the Makey Makey, by touching the ‘Earth’ connection and one of the input buttons. The reason this works is because electricity flows through us from the ground connection to the input button. We complete a circuit. A circuit is essentially a flow of energy. With this understanding, we are ready to test and explore some other conductive materials.
We’ll look at all things metallic, as they are fantastic conductors. These include copper tape, tinfoil and even a dense graphite pencil. We’ll look at fruit as well as water and play doh. Anything that conducts electricity will work. Some insulators (non-conductive materials) include wood, glass and plastic.

Makey Makey is compatible with all major operating systems: Mac, Windows, Linux, Google Chromebooks. It isn’t officially supported on mobile and tablet devices.
