MAKE IT! Makey Makey interactive photobooth COMPUTER AND SOFTWARE SETUP Run a micro USB to USB cable from the Makey Makey module to your computer.
On your computer, open a software to take pictures with and place your cursor over the in-app button for taking photos.
The software can be one that takes pohtos directly from your laptop, or one that communicates with an outside digital camera.

CIRCUITRY AND BOOTH SETUP Plug in a USB power to the wall and connect to a Makey Makey module.
On the Makey Makey module, set the mode switch to “click”and connect one of the alligator clips to the circle contact.
Connect another alligator clip to either one of the rectangular “earth” contacts.
Connect the opposite ends of your alligator clips to something conductive that you can stretch to your photobooth. We chose to use wire.
Connect each of your wires (or conductive material of choice) to a conductive prop inside of your photobooth. We chose to use sparkly, purple garland!
COMPLETE THE CIRCUIT! Now, when “photoboothers” step in and make contact with both of your conductive props, they will complete the circuit and set off the camera!
