Make STEM Education fun! Makey Makey is an invention kit for the 21st century. Turn everyday objects into touchpads and combine them with the internet. It's a simple Invention Kit for beginners and experts doing art, engineering and everything in between.
With the Makey Makey, students can make any conductive material act as the input device for a computer. Because it comes pre-programmed, students with no coding experience can use it and learn to experiment with it as they start to learn coding. Makey Makey believes that the maker movement is more than just robots, 3D printing, or STEM, or even building things. It allows students to become hardware engineers and solve real-world design challenges by providing a landscape that fosters curiosity and creates vibrant learners.
Connect the word around you to your computer! Setup takes just seconds. Make game controllers, musical instruments and countless inventions.

Train young brains to think in multiple dimensions, transferring 2D information into 3D reality! Students use KEVA planks to successfully duplicate the balance, proportion, composition and geometry featured on each card. KEVA planks are an exceptionally versatile tool for teaching STEM concepts to children of any age or skill level. Only one simple building block is used which allows for an infinite number of construction possibilities. Planks are assembled using various stacking techniques. Since gravity is the primary force acting on the blocks, compounding variables such as gluing skill or connector strength are eliminated. Construction progresses quickly so multiple trials or experiments can be conducted in the course of any challenge. Trial and error maximizes discovery.
