Great Tool for Imaginative Fun but Do your Research. Made for a very interesting and unique gift that requires a little bit of work, creativity, and imagination that I think is needed these days. My niece wanted this and I had no idea what it was so I researched it a little and was surprised that she knew what this was and wanted it. While there are a lot of ways to play with this at its base it is fairly simple and easy to learn and use. I appreciate that it combines gaming and electronics with a little bit of learning, creativity, imagination and inventiveness.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.
Brings out the Curiosity in Children. I had several of the Makey Makey kits for the students in my classroom a few years back. At that time, the students were able to access free programs that would work with Makey Makey. However, when I recently bought it for my grandson, I was unable to locate some of the free programs I had used with my students. There were many to purchase though.It is easy to use, once you read through all the directions, and there is also a few videos on the product website, and on YouTube. I highly recommend you watch those as well before using the product.My grandson, who just turned right, did have a lot of fun with it, and was running all over my house to find things he could use to complete the circuit. We used bananas, cherries, coins, clothes pins, and several other items. It is still a good product, and really brings out the curiosity in children. It is also a good product for the requirements of STEM.
I gave 4 of 5 stars since my son likes it. Honestly the components are well made, but it should have come with a case…I 3D printed one for like 30 cents in plastic but for 40 bucks it should have had a case…and a slightly larger box. Cannot fit everything back in the box once opened.My son likes this, and has had many hours of fun out of it. Making playdough buttons and such.I would like to see it support more than just a few buttons though. Perhaps at least as many as is on a game controller…that would be swell.Anyway, over all, decent product, but price was more than I expected.
