A small credit-card-sized USB interface that lets you turn just about anything into a computer input, by creating a simple circuit. MaKey MaKey, created by MIT Media Lab Ph.D. Jay Silver can be used to make a piano out of bananas, a joystick out of Play-Doh, an iSight camera trigger from a bowl of water, or whatever other crazy interface combination you can think of — it even works with pencil drawings! It has a built-in Arduino, so you can use the program to control devices on a far more advanced level.
Works with Mac and Windows. It is also open-source hardware, which means MaKey MaKey makes things like their schematics available under a CC (in this case attribution, share-alike) license. For curious educators and learners, there are 1000s of possibilities and project ideas, many uploaded to YouTube videos from classrooms around the world!
