There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The kids in class would always be trying to come up with different things we could do with it, and it turns out that the cheese sticks they get at lunch make a perfect material to connect it to! One of the kids in class who can play the piano played it using the cheese sticks and we made a video that we used to promote our science demonstration show. It was a huge hit.
We also went to the elementary school and did a few activities with it. Imagine hooking a a group of 2nd graders up to this and making them the keys for the piano. Just have one kid hold the ground and they can touch the other kids on the hand to play the piano. It blows their mind and they go crazy about it and want to learn how it works.
What you can do with this is only limited by your imagination.
Really, the only gripe I have with this kit is that the device's cable limits the freedom of movement and range you have on it. But there's really no way around that unless you buy a Bluetooth adapter of sorts. For now, keep your inventions close to your computer and you should have no problems.
If you're interested in tinkering around with computer devices, don't hesitate to pick this up. It's an awesome tool that's disguised as a toy.
I gave it only 4 stars because I don't think this is for everyone. If you're planning to buy this for a present, you should really see if this is the kind of thing that person/child wants. If you think someone might like it as a gift they might also need someone to show them the kind of fun they can enjoy with this. It is an interesting concept and the possibilities are near limitless but I think anyone that hasn't researched the Makey Makey at all and are considering it for a gift, to really read into what it is and what it can be.
The price is a little steep in my opinion at about $50. I think $35-$40 would have been a sweet spot but it is well made and designed and I have no issue spending a little more to support innovative ideas. I can happily recommend this.

Desde el primer momento, el Makey Makey me impresionó con su simplicidad y potencial. La facilidad de configuración es notable: en cuestión de minutos, estaba creando un piano con plátanos y jugando videojuegos con un control hecho de plastilina. La interfaz intuitiva y la conexión directa a cualquier computadora a través de USB hacen que el proceso de aprendizaje sea prácticamente autodidacta.
Lo que realmente destaca del Makey Makey es su capacidad para enseñar conceptos de circuitos y codificación de una manera que es tanto educativa como extremadamente entretenida. Es una herramienta fantástica para padres, educadores y cualquier persona interesada en la tecnología DIY. Además, la comunidad en línea es un recurso valioso, repleto de proyectos compartidos y soporte.
El kit es robusto y duradero, lo que es esencial cuando se utiliza en entornos donde la curiosidad puede llevar a un uso intensivo, como las aulas o los talleres de inventores jóvenes. Aunque el concepto es sencillo, las posibilidades son tan amplias como la imaginación del usuario, lo que significa que el valor del Makey Makey se extiende mucho más allá de su precio.
Si tuviera que señalar un área de mejora, sería que el kit podría incluir más materiales conductivos para experimentar. Sin embargo, esto también sirve como un incentivo para ser creativo con los objetos cotidianos que nos rodean.
En resumen, el Makey Makey Invention Kit es una inversión en creatividad y educación. Es más que un juguete: es una herramienta de aprendizaje que ofrece horas de diversión y exploración. Recomiendo este kit a cualquiera que tenga curiosidad por la tecnología o que busque una forma única de introducir conceptos STEM de una manera práctica y memorable.
