What it is and why it was created?
It is a spin-off from
The creators, Jay Silver and Eric Rosenbaum invented Makey Makey because they want you to understand how the world works, so you can look at the world and see it as something you can change. Essentially, the world is a construction kit! Everything around you can be used for inventing! To help you invent using everyday items, they created Makey Makey. It is a circuit board that you plug into your computer and it acts as a keyboard. Each metal pad that you see on the device is a conductive touchpad. That means the touchpads can be connected to other things to invent whatever you can dream up!
