Makey Makey Club

A Circuit Building Club for 4 - 6 Graders

Learn to program and code a Makey Makey circuit board to build your own gratitude generator!

Are you curious about circuits and electricity? Do you like to code, or want to beginning learning how to code?

Join us for a 4-week Makey Makey Club where we'll learn how to use Makey Makey (an invention kit), how to combine coding in Scratch, and ultimately how to create our own gratitude generator! Each week in this series we'll learn about the power of circuits and coding, practice some fun and silly things we can do with circuits, and build on our newfound skills to develop a thankfulness project by the end.

Participants must attend each Thursday from October 26 - November 16. No coding or Makey Makey experience is necessary. If you have any questions, please contact Jenny at childrenslibrarian@burbankca.gov.

Some people think inventors perform magic, but inventing is no more magical than reading and writing a sentence. There is a grammar to inventing from mechanical tools, to design thinking, to coding, and beyond. Being invention literate means being able to look at the world around you, think about how things work, and imagine how they might work differently. The best way to hone invention literacy skills? Tinkering and creating!
