Coin Recognition using MaKey MaKeys and Scratch

The ITRTs had an opportunity to explore with the new MaKey MaKeys that arrived from a HEF Grant. As we explored, we were looking for curriculum connections. The idea of coin recognition in the lower grades came about and a script was created in Scratch. The MaKey MaKeys were then connected to real coins and the script created in Scratch was run…see below for the fun that ensued! If you’re interested in collaborating with me so we can plan a lesson using MaKey MaKeys, schedule me today.
