Interactive Arduino and Makey Makey lessons guide kids through wiring, simple code, and builds such as a blinking LED or fruit piano.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-29 issue.
For
Kids learning Arduino or Makey Makey with an adult
Worth noticing
The virtual test checks code, not physical wiring; USB upload requires a computer browser supporting Web Serial, such as Chrome or Edge.

Field notes

The Arduino path starts with a parts checklist for the official Arduino Starter Kit, then shows connections in animated, zoomable diagrams. Learners can adjust the delay in a blink program and test it virtually; the page distinguishes that code check from an adult checking the physical circuit. Uploading the tested program over USB requires a computer browser with Web Serial support, with Chrome and Edge given as examples.
