Fun with Makey Makey (BASIC)
Theme: CREATE CONNECTIONS WITH CONTROLLER
Duration: 8 lessons (1.5 hours per lesson)
Learning programing and coding would be much more interesting with an interactive kit, like Makey Makey. During the course, kids will learn to think creatively and out of the box to design their controller, and understand the concept of Scratch to program their projects together with Makey-Makey kit.
Kids will be motivated to turn items like fruits, playdoh, and even water into fun controllers for games with Makey-Makey kit. Is time for kids to step closer to a world built by everyone exploring their ideas and reinventing the things around us!
