Summary

This pilot study explores whether group workshops using MaKey MaKey and Scratch—tools that turn everyday objects into touchpads for creating music, games, and stories—can improve social participation, motivation, and empowerment in adults with mental health conditions. Twenty participants from a mental health day hospital will attend six weekly sessions, collaborating on creative projects. Researchers will measure changes in social functioning, motivation, and empowerment before and after the program to see if this approach is feasible and helpful.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a group-based co-creation workshop program using MaKey MaKey and Scratch
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could offer a low-cost, creative way to improve social participation and empowerment for people with mental health conditions.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program's success depends on individual interest and ability to engage with the technology.
