How to make a Pumpkin Piano! (using a Makey Makey!) | Maddie Moate

The video tutorial demonstrates how to create a piano using pumpkins, a laptop, and a Makey Makey. It begins with an introduction to circuits, explaining how electricity flows through a circuit to power a light bulb. The concept of conductivity is discussed, highlighting how materials like metal and water can conduct electricity. The tutorial then guides viewers through building a pumpkin piano, using pumpkins as conductive elements to complete circuits and produce sound. The video concludes with a demonstration of the pumpkin piano playing a Halloween-themed song.
