List of products by brand Joylabz - MakeyMakey
Makey Makey was created as an offshoot of JoyLabz by two students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the supervision of Professor Mitch Resnick. The academic and artistic profile of the project has attracted and gathered thousands of people, enabling them to discover their talent as inventors, according to the thesis proclaimed by the project's founders - Dr. Jay Silver and Dr. Eric Rosenbaum - that everyone is creative and has the inventive imagination to create the future and change the world. To this end, the authors of the Makey Makey project have designed and marketed kits to build interesting devices that combine fun with pleasure in the form of learning through play.

What is the Makey Makey?
Makey Makey is a series of component kits that allow you to build a variety of interesting devices. Using a small touch controller, you can connect various everyday objects to the Internet, giving them interesting additional capabilities. The Makey Makey kits are intended for beginners, those taking their first steps in practical technical interests from an early age, engineers, artists, and anyone else who would like to try their hand as an inventor and develop their technical interests. The authors of the project profess the philosophy that the whole world is one big construction kit and with the help of simple to use Makey Makey kits, each of us can create this world.
Inspired by makers for makers
The Makey Makey kits are inspired by the creative activities of do-it-yourselfers who create simple projects to revolutionary inventions that make everyday life easier. Kids, adults, teachers, designers, engineers, artists, makers, and retirees - the Makey Makey project was created with literally everyone in mind. You can create a house building game and animation and be the best banana piano player, but how do you demonstrate it? These and many other projects will be very easy to do just with Makey Makey! Using the Makey Makey Classic kit, you can use crocodile wires to connect bananas, stairs, and other items to the base platform that the computer will see as keys to play melodies. The Makey Makey Classic works by switching with high resistance external elements (such as plastics, dry foods, human skin, or animal hair). This detects noise at the input of the base unit, fed through a wire terminated with crocodiles or a wire soldered to the board. You can also use jumpers and jumper wires to connect to contact boards. The module is equipped with six base inputs and additional inputs to convert the Makey Makey into an integrated mouse and keyboard control system.
