Thinker Thursdays is a 2 hour block where families can come into the library to access some of our Kahuku Cool Lab kits.

Check out the differences and similarities between various hands-on learning sets – Makey Makey and Osmo.

What is Makey Makey?

Turn the whole world into a keyboard. It’s a simple Invention Kit for Beginners or Experts doing art, engineering, and everything in between.

How Does it Work?

Alligator Clip two objects to the Makey Makey. For example, you and a banana (or an ice cube or a kitty cat). When you touch the banana, the computer just thinks a keyboard key is being pressed, so you can type a letter, jump in a video game, take a picture, or play some music.

What can I create?

Make a banana piano, play Mario on a play dough game pad, take a selfie of your cat every time she drinks water. How? First, load up a computer program or any webpage. Let’s say you load up a piano. Then, instead of using the computer keyboard buttons to play the piano, you can hook the Makey Makey to something fun, like bananas, and the bananas become your piano keys.

Osmo

Osmo is a magical award-winning game system, it fosters creativity and problem solving skills through hands-on play. The Genius Kit includes 5 fun games and the Osmo game system.
