Makey Makey Lesson Pack

DESCRIPTION

With the closure of all educational establishments in the UK we are currently offering our activity packs free of charge and also offering 50% off on our selection of in-depth lesson plan packs to help you continue to educate and support your children at home throughout this period.

The Makey Makey is a great STEM product designed for learners of all ages! Due to its simplicity of block programming (Scratch) and its flexibility to easily be used in nearly any subject! You can hook up anything that is slightly conductive to use all kinds of fun things as an input.

We understand that as teachers planning your lessons can be a long and tedious process or a parent who would like their child to develop new and exciting programming skills, it can be difficult to know where to begin.

To help you save time and effort, we have developed a series of five fun and engaging lessons to introduce your students or children to the world of Scratch programming helping them learn and build on basic programming concepts including: Variables, If Statements, User Inputs, Sprite Control and more. 

Note: This requires a Makey Makey (sold separately)
