Connected Devices
Make your own connected object

Connected devices are everywhere these days and it’s only the beginning. A new report from Cisco predicts that by the end of 2012 there will be more mobile-connected devices than humans! Some of these devices will undoubtedly be attributed to MaKey MaKey, the new Kickstarter project that is taking the Internet by storm. Described by its creators as an “invention kit for the 21st century,” it can turn virtually anything you can think of – from bananas to beach balls – into a connected object. We think it’d be a great addition to any prototype session or hacking experiment.
