Parent's always tell you off for playing with food, well next time tell them to think about this. In America two very talented students made a unusual piano out of bananas. They've made a piece of kit called MakeyMakey, that can turn animals, fruit and even lumps of playdough into keyboards. The new product is not on sale yet as it's still in early stages of development.

| Playdough can be connected to the kit and used as a game controller The gadget is a small board with clips on which is attached to a computer via a USB port. It can attach to anything what electricity can travel through, which then makes the object the controller. The developers say only small currents of electricity are used so there's not safety problems. Experts are warning people not to make these at home as it could lead to serious injuries. If the tests work the makers hope it could be a fun way to get more kids interested in science and engineering.
