Makey Makey is a useful, hands-on learning technology tool for learners of all ages, regardless of their academic strengths or weaknesses. Teachers who use the Makey Makey in the classroom will witness collaborative learning that fosters teamwork, problem solving, and multi modal learning. More importantly, teachers will learn and discover with their students, thus, creating a genuine moment of discovery shared by all in the classroom. The Makey Makey gives both teachers and students the opportunity to learn from each other in an environment that fosters risk taking and collaboration. Success is not measured by a single correct answer or technique but rather from the actions of making mistakes and trying different solutions to the tasks at hand. 

With a focus on real-world problem solving and the skills our society needs for a complex future, Makey Makey represents a means to help learners become inventors and makers of their world using technological/engineering design practices and processes. Makey Makey supports current trends in education—Integrative STEM Education, problem solving and project based learning, and 21st Century Skills --and enables learners to prepare for work at the frontier.
