Makey Makey

Makey Makey is an invention kit that can turn everyday objects (anything that has a little conductivity) into a touchpad.  You can also program your Makey Makey with something like Scratch, Tynker or Aduino. This can integrate really nicely with Science  investigations into conductivity.
