  The use of tangible interfaces in teaching has been proved more effective,
user -friendly and helpful in collaborative learning departments, when compared
to traditional teaching approaches. In particular, the tangible interface
"Makey Makey"is a modern tool that enhances collaboration between pupils, with
positive results in education, despite the limited research done on this
interface so far. "Makey Makey" succeeds in motivating and engaging young
learners in the learning process, showing better performance and scoring
results. In addition, its use in teaching has been shown to benefit the
learning process in every age learning group.The development and use of such an
innovative teaching/learning approach helps young learners perceive the
educational process in a different way and assimilate new cognitive fields more
effectively. Moreover, educators profit as well, as they can eliminate
difficulties and teach more efficiently using examples based on their teaching
approach, while enhancing young learners parallel skills as well. This study
will confirm previous research results stating that assimilation of new
concepts is easier with tangible interfaces than with graphical ones, as well
as that young learners participating in the survey have shown significant
progress in knowledge acquisition when compared to their prior knowledge.
