Conducting Carrots

Description :

The Centre for Computing History is delighted to announce six reduced ticket entry Family Activity Days at the museum. This has been made possible with funding from Cambridge City Council. The sixth and final activity for the summer is the Makey Makey Electronics Workshop which the whole family can enjoy.

Can you help us make music with carrots, or a game controller with playdoh... How about switching on an LED with a banana?
In this workshop, we'll be playing with an ingenious little device called Makey Makey that allows us to connect everyday items to a computer! BUT do they conduct enough electricity to allow us to make music or play games?
We'll be experimenting with lots of everyday items from fab fruits to funky furniture to see how well they conduct electricity.
This is a lively science and computing-based workshop for younger children. It's fun and teaches the principles of circuits, resistance, and conductivity.

Remember - All proceeds go to support our Computing Museum!
