Introduce Coding using a MaKey MaKey and Scratch. A MaKey MaKey is a very simple to use piece of kit which can be used to add a little bit more fun to a class coding project.
The MaKey Makey is a bare bones circuit board that connects to your computer via USB. There are7 terminals for attaching electrical wires to it. These are arranged like an old games controller – with up/down/left/right arrows and also spacebar and left click. A strip along the bottom allows for another wire to connect it to Earth.

As for educational ideas I can have some, as a student: also it seems to be a better fit for smaller children a room full of objects connected to a makeymakey with a software that will choose a certain sound (or word) acoording to what key is pressed could make more intuative way to learn language, for it's more similar to how one learns his first language. for example when one presses an apple the software will play a sound document "Apple".
I don't know of any software that does that currntly so maybe you will have to make it yourself, or rearrange the shortcut keys in a sound library software such as itunes. again these 2 ideas are for smaller children, because in higher ages things gets too complicated for makeymakey, and doesn't really need any makeymakey support, I can't think of anyway makeymakey will help solving equations of the third degree with 2 variables.
