The lesson plan can be found later in the record.
The kit includes the following materials:
- 4 Makey Makey Circuit Boards

*The cardboard box model in the photo above is only an example of what students could make, and is not included in the actual kit.
We have provided as much as possible to make the project successful. You will supplement with other maker materials such as cardboard, brass fasteners, paperclips, and other necessary items.
This kit was paid for through a grant from the Harold Hacker Fund for the Advancement of Libraries, sponsored by the Friends and Foundation of the Rochester Public Library and the Rochester Regional Library Council (RRLC).
