Physical Computing with Scratch and Makey Makey

The Makey Makey brings the physical world together with Scratch by mimicking a keyboard, letting you control any computer program with everyday conductive objects like food, conductive tape, graphite pencil, metal, Playdoh, your own body, and more! You can connect it to Scratch and build creative projects that combine the magic of the digital and physical worlds.
