@@MelloCello7 Yes! Here's our FAQ on that "Makey Makey is powered by a USB connection. Makey Makey is an input device that allows users to invent projects using water and other conductive objects. We really take safety very seriously. Makey Makey has passed the applicable consumer product safety guidelines for its intended use. The voltage used by the device is similar to that provided by 3 AA batteries; enough electricity to have a lot of fun, but not enough to do any harm. That means the board and alligator clips are safe to touch when connected to water. The Makey Makey is actually sensing that a circuit is closed and the board is safe to touch. However we suggest keeping the computer far from the source of water as you do not want your computer damaged. Plus, we would recommend not submerging your Makey Makey board in water as that will damage the board. More safety considerations to follow when using Makey Makey: Makey Makey should be used according to its intended use via the USB cable provided to a USB compliant port. Never connect Makey Makey to an AC outlet such as a USB wall charger. If the product is damaged or broken, please discontinue use."
