MaKey MaKey

The MaKey MaKey ($49.95) is a simple kit for beginners and experts alike: it turns everyday objects into touchpads (via alligator clips) and combines them with the internet. MaKey MaKey was invented by Jay Silver and Eric Rosenbaum and made by JoyLabz - I highly recommend you look at this MIT post about what incredibly cool stuff hackers are doing with it.

  • Good Stuff!

    I didn't even know that Hackerspace existed, much less be something I could go visit. (And I LOL'd when I saw the hand model's nail polish matched the cover of the coloring book.)

    Thanks for a good read.
