1. Cardboard
2. Egg cartons or other non-conductive material
3. Aluminum foil/tape or other conductive material
4. Scissors
5. Pencil
6. Tape
7. Makey Makey with at least 4 alligator clips/wire

Trace your foot on a piece of cardboard and cut it out. Repeat that three more times so you have a total of four cardboard pieces. Cover the middle section of the top and bottom pieces for the left and right foot pads.

Tape an egg carton cup or piece of cardboard at the ends of the foot pad. Place the top of each foot pad on its lower piece so that the conductive material on the top and bottom doesn't touch. Tape the top piece of each foot pad to its lower half so the cardboard pieces don't slip.

Connect an alligator clip from Earth on the Makey Makey to the bottom of the left foot pad. Connect a different alligator clip from the top of the left foot pad to the Left Arrow key. Connect a third alligator clip from a different Earth opening to the bottom of the right foot pad. Connect your fourth alligator clip from the top of the right foot pad to the Right Arrow key.

Connect your Makey Makey to the computer and load the Scratch Meta Boost game (Sprint Remix). This Scratch program was a remix of the Sprint Race game by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Meta Boost (Sprint Remix)
