Makey makey interactive poster
Add a Makey Makey to a poster/model or diorama. The Makey Makey combined with Scratch.mit.edu will enable students to record a voiceover for the poster to add extra information and create an interactive project. This can be applied to any subject area. The target group is Years 3-4, but as not all students have been exposed to coding and physical computing it could be used with secondary students. This lesson idea was created by Meridith Ebbs.
