Makey Makey is an electronic invention kit that lets users connect everyday objects to computer programs. Using a circuit board, alligator clips, and a USB cable, the system uses closed loop electrical signals to send the computer either a keyboard stroke or mouse click signal. This function allows the Makey Makey to work with any computer program or web page that take input. In this example, students will work together to make a human presentation slider using a Makey Makey. (Image courtesy of Amber Case)

Level Up Your Game Design! – 2015 Make Cycle #3

For this Make Cycle, we invite you to use game design to analyze, remediate, and reflect on complex systems. You may ask – why game design? The systems within which we operate can be difficult to understand – and even more so, difficult to discuss. Games – in all their forms – are engaging tools for experimentation. As dynamic and interactive works of art, games can inspire us to tackle and engage with complexity. Plus, games, and the ways in which they are designed, enable us to experiment and have fun with failure: the ability to try, fail, and try… Read more »

With a collaborative document such as Google Docs or Hackpad, you can design a game with ideas built around a connected scavenger hunt. Inclusion of a simple tally sheet provides a sense of community, even if the score itself is not the point. This kind of open… Read more »
