    My 5 year old son had so much fun! He learned a lot and came home raving about his projects each day. He can explain the difference between potential and kinetic energy. Very cool!

    Questions & Answers
    If I have 2 children taking the class can I order only 1 kit from makeymakey? Will there be enough supplies?

    No the Makey Makey kit is designed to work on one laptop,. They can work together assembling the activities but would need to share when playing. We decided to offer the first class free because of the cost of the kit. -
