A Banana Can Become a Computer Interface

A conductive object, such as a banana, can be used as a computer interface with a Makey Makey GO device. It detects a change in charge when the object is touched and lets the user interact with the computer.

An article in How-To Geek describes an experiment with fruit: Makey Makey GO is connected to the object using a conductor or an alligator clip. The author also mentions water and other materials. Depending on the setup, this interface can work as a keyboard or mouse; Scratch can be used for programming.
