After having to make some educated guesses about electricity, campers not only got to learn about electrons, circuits and conductivity, they experienced these things firsthand thanks to the “Makey Makey,” an invention kit created by JoyLabz LLC that turns everyday objects into buttons for computers. From becoming a human piano to playing Pong on oranges, students experimented with basic circuit building.
