Makey Makey Shield Funduino

The Makey Makey Shield by Funduino brings the Makey Makey idea to the Arduino: it lets you turn fruit, aluminium foil, coins, play dough and other conductive objects into touch keys. You hold a ground connection, touch an object wired to one of the inputs, and the very small current through your body is detected as a key press. It is a fun, hands-on way to teach children about circuits, coding and inventing.

What's in the Box

• 1 × Makey Makey Shield (Funduino)

Tip: Connect each object to an input with a crocodile clip lead, and hold the ground lead in your other hand while you touch the object. Power the Arduino from the computer's USB port while you experiment, and dry wet fruit or play dough contacts if keys start to trigger on their own.
