Meet The Clever MaKey MaKey Kit.

How Does it Work? Alligator Clip two objects to the MaKey MaKey board. For example, you and a banana. When you touch the banana, you make a connection, and MaKey MaKey sends the computer a keyboard message. The computer just thinks MaKey MaKey is a regular keyboard (or mouse). Therefore it works with all programs and webpages, because all programs and webpages take keyboard and mouse input. And the name, MakeyMakey? This is how the company says it came about: Make + Key = MaKey MaKey! Use MaKey MaKey to turn everyday objects into touchpads and combine them with the internet. It's a simple Invention kit for beginners and experts. Probably the most famous demo is the 'banana piano'. You'll see it in the video on this week's Giz Wiz Show.
