A Simple Circuit
Makey Makey works by completing a circuit. So it is important you build one to understand how a circuit works!
A simple circuit flows in a loop. The electrons flow from the positive side of the battery, to the LED lighting it up, and back down to the negative side of the battery completing the loop and closing the circuit.

To craft your circuit, you need conductive material to help those electrons flow and light up your LED. When lighting an LED or a bulb it is also important to wire up your circuit with the correct polarity. If you hook up your LED incorrectly (say the positive side of the LED to the negative conductive trace) your LED will not light up.
