The makey-makey is an invention kit for the 21st century, which turns any object into a touchpad, and when connected to the internet, simply amazing things happen - the possibilities are endless!
In our case, by covering the stairs with aluminium foil and connecting it to the makey makey, the stairs effectively became the piano keys. As someone stood on the stairs and held on to the railing, the circuit closed, sending a signal through the makey-makey to the computer and our virtual piano made a sound!
Students from all Key Stages have made as much musical noise as possible by walking up and down the stairs throughout this week.
