What Will You Make?! Makey Makey Interactive Poster

Makey Makey is a fun educational tool that students can use to make something more interactiveand hands- on. To get students excited, we watch the Intro Makey Makey Video and students are WOWED by how it works.  Check it out for yourself!
 In a 6th grade math class, students are working to create their own word problems to become interactive with the Makey Makey.  Here is a sample I created to show the students how it will look when they finish.
Students will learn how to program the Makey Makey controls (on the back of the poster) with the website Scratch.  When students interact with the problem, here is the program that will show them if the answer is right or wrong by touching the copper mathematical symbols: Scratch Interactive Word Problem.  

Other ways students have used Makey Makey:

  • In music class to create their own keyboard to make sounds/music.  
  • Interactive Maps in Social Studies
  • Interactive Art Project
