7p8:  Makey Makey

Using a Makey Makey, alligator clips, playdoh , I created piano because me and my partner wanted to make some music.

During this process, I learned how to use alligator clips. Also I leaned how to use a Makey Makey. Finally I learned how make a controller out of playdoh.

The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Empowered learner because me and my partner looked up how to make the Makey Makey work. also we looked at the instructions.

A challenge I overcame on this project was learning how to make the Makey Makey work. I was able to do it by looking up a video on YouTube. Also looking at instructions.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change I woul;d uese differnt things other then playdoh. The reason why I would change it is because It would be cooler. Also it would be less boring.
