Makey Makey Game Controllers
Explore making your own functioning unique game controller using a Makey Makey and playful materials like clay, pipe cleaners, straws, copper tape, buttons, paper clips, foil and more. Test your controller out on a Scratch game created by San Jose youth, or design a game yourself in Scratch. |
Paper Plate Pachinko
Instructable Lesson Simplified table instructions If you prefer to make a physical game, explore making a paper plate pachinko game that hooks up to a computer via a Makey Makey device. This project uses a conductive marble to complete open circuit paths as your roll it along the maze you create. Local Alum Rock youth will co-lead these projects as we build community through art/circuitry explorations at this pop-up makerspace. |
