Makey Makey using humans as conductors!

Within session 6 we looked at ‘Makey Makey’ and the different conductible materials that could be turned into keys. As a group i felt we were all amazed at the vast and unusual materials that in fact could be used, especially ourselves. Our group chose to use this to play games simply to see if it worked.

I feel the activity went really well and really involved each and every one of us. We even got frustrated at times due to not being able to work out who conducted which key. Providing this resource for children will enable them to enjoy a physical computing activity and become solely engaged. I would however suggest the activity is used for the upper key stage due to the technicality involved.
