In the\u00a0case of\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.makeymakey.com\" target=\"_blank\">Makey Makey<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>it\u00a0is a <strong>technological toy<\/strong>\u00a0inspired by the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/it.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Maker\" target=\"_blank\">Maker Movement<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0with the idea of helping people to start thinking at themselves as Makers and agents of change. It\u00a0works like an original &#8220;construction kit&#8221; and allows to <strong>develop the creative and inventive skills<\/strong>\u00a0in each child. The object itself doesn&#8217;t work alone, but once you connect it to another object and experiment with it, you can start to feel\u00a0<strong>the world\u00a0is your new construction
