Makey Makey is a simple electronic invention kit that allows users to connect everyday conductive objects (like fruit, foil, or modeling clay) to computer functions. This technology can transform common materials into interactive buttons that trigger sounds, movements, or actions in a digital interface.

In a classroom setting, students with IDD can use Makey Makey to control simple educational games or robots. For example, they could use bananas as input buttons to move a robot forward or backward, reinforcing cause-effect relationships. The tactile and visual nature of the tool also enhances sensory engagement, which is critical for many learners with developmental challenges.
