“Bringing Your Making to Life!”
Step out of the world of passive maker projects by bringing them to life with lights, music & movement!
The MakerPort is a universal hub for connecting LED lights, music, touchpads and movement to any of your school, craft and holiday projects!
With the MakerPort you can:
• Add rainbow flashing LED lights
• Play mp3 music, voice or sound effects
• Add up to 12 simple touch-sensor buttons – no ground wire needed!
• Add servo motors to create movement
• Optionally (not required), connect to Scratch, and control your own videogames
• With the MicroBlocks program editor, you can embark on a fun journey learning how to code your own inventions!
