Makey Makey Dance Revolution

This mat was made to be used with one Makey Makey Kit. For a fun games night use two kits and make a second mat, that way you and your friends can compete. Check out our Scratch game which we customized to be used with our mat!

Step 4: Step 4: Assemble

Lay your cut pieces of tape where they will go on the board. We used two pieces for each side so that they were wider.

Repeat step for each side.
