One of our favourite technologies to use on the bus is called a MaKey MaKey. A MaKey MaKey is a small circuit board that turns physical objects (like a banana) into buttons for your computer. It works by creating electrical circuits.
In this picture a MaKey MaKey is being used to connect an apple to a computer. A small amount of electricity flows from the computer to the apple. To complete the circuit, the person in the picture needs to hold a ground wire. This ground wire works as a return path for the electricity.
For a circuit to work, electricity needs to flow in a circular path, from a power source (when we’re using a MaKey MaKey our computer is the power source), to a object (in the picture, the apple is the object), and then back to the power source (it travels through you back to the laptop).
With a MaKey MaKey anything that conducts electricity can be turned into a button for your computer, if you want to learn more about what kinds of things would work, why don’t you explore makeymakey.com for ideas.

This information was just what I wanted on this topic. Could you write an article on why this works with Makey Makey? I’ve looked everywhere, but no one seems to have the information I need. Maybe you could supply it…after all, your information is greatly needed.
We can definitely write something like that! We should have it up next week.
Cool my class just did this!Its flippin fun!
