The Makey Makey devices are quite resilient, but teaching students how to care for them is important to maintain proper usage. Students should handle the Makey Makey with care. Wires should not be twisted, crimped, or bent at extreme angles. Teach students to return Makey Makeys with all of the components to their individual boxes after work is finished

Makey Makey is an invention kit for the 21st century. With Makey Makey everyday objects are transformed into touchpads empowering students to interact with computers as creative tools. The computer becomes an extension of their creativity, fostering imaginative play and discovery. The heart of Makey Makey is its circuit board that connects to a computer via a USB cable. Building circuits that can be used like a joystick or a keyboard key allows users with no coding experience to use Makey Makey to learn, experiment, and invent.&nbsp;

Maker Educator Colleen Graves: Physical Computing "light"

Physical Computing&nbsp;is building/designing/creating/making interactive systems that use different kinds of software and hardware to sense and respond to an external stimuli – which could be a program, a problem statement, a need, an issue or simply an Idea.

Consider using the engineering design process to have students solve a scenario based on real-world human needs. Here are some sample scenarios that challenge your students to think creatively to solve a problem: - A climber on Everest can’t take her mittens off to type a message to basecamp. Create a device to allow her to type using only supplies she would have in her pack. - An astronaut on Mars must re-program his Rover after a malfunction. Design a device that allows him to complete a program with limited dexterity due to space gloves and hostile conditions (e.g., gravity differences). - Design a device that would allow a dolphin to communicate a simple message to humans by using its nose to select basic pictures or words
