Summary
This course will provide the opportunity and resources for hands on practical exploration to build confidence in using the Makey Makey. We will look at simple code and design projects, then will look at how the Makey Makey can be used to design and develop creative approaches to interdisciplinary projects. We will explore the inputs and outputs possible using Makey Makey, and will develop and action plan to support integration into what is already being taught in school.
