Encourage Creativity with the Makey Makey
by Amazon Customer (5 out of 5 stars)
December 29, 2015

This was my first Makey Makey invention kit and since this purchase I have ordered 5 more for my 2-6 science lab. Students LOVE the Makey Makey. We have turned pie tins and gummy worms in to game controllers for PacMan, Tetris, and Super Mario Brothers. My favorite student created projects include a tiny drum set made with Gaterade tops covered with tin foil and attached to a shoe box with tooth picks. This was a tiny drum set attached to a music program on the Makey Makey web site. We watched a TED talk and other youtube videos to introduce the Makey Makey. A fun and creative kit. It is not a toy kids will use daily but it will keep them busy for awhile and then they will come back to it monthly. Great for a classroom.

While my 13-yo son didn't continue to play with this over the next year, he certainly enjoyed it for a few months. I loved that it contained everything he needed for creative, educational "wow" factor right on Christmas morning. So, great Christmas gift!

Keeps the kids busy and happy.

This has been the hit of the spring with the kids. We've had musical bananas, a sandwich space bar, water balloon instruments and a few other crazy shenanigans. How this will become an instrument for the talent show this year is yet to be determined, but I see it coming - and can't wait. This is exactly the hands-on, creative and critical thinking kids need.

Great Father's Day gift he shared with the kiddos

This was hours of fun for both my husband and 5 year old daughter, I am sure they will go back to it a lot as there are many options to increase the difficulty level based on your child's interests and abilities. I am not sure who liked it more, my husband or my daughter ;)

Fun, for a little

So much fun!!! When we bought this me and my sister couldn't put it down! We used it to play many games and played wonderful piano music with it 😂. Unfortunately after the first time we used it, it never saw the light of day again. It's not the company's fault, it is just that there was no motivation for us to keep using it.

Holy moly, did my kids have a great time with this. They spent an entire night getting along wonderfully playing with it. They haven't gone back to it since, but I think they will eventually.

Cool

I teach high school and use this as a teaching tool. I had no issues connecting it to my PC and Raspberry Pi 3b+. The students get a kick out of controlling video games with all sorts of objects. I would like to see a DIY kit in the future with a lower price point as this is essentially plug-and-play device that requires no skill to assemble.

Endless Possibilities!
by BKenaston (4 out of 5 stars)
June 20, 2019

Loved the creative abilities this Makey Makey can offer. Endless possibilities for extending g learning. My 5th graders connected homemade robots to their projects created in Scratch. One broke where the USB needed to be attached with less than 2 weeks use. A similar product available for 1/2 the price.
