I am working with a partner on both controllers.
I will need Makey Makey's, Plato, and my computer.
My plan is to create a Plato controller that goes around your hand and connects to the computer. My second thing is to make a controller that controls the Dinosaur Game.
My project will have the ability to be controlled completely with your hand. My other project will have the ability to make the dinosaur jump an restart the game with the same button.
Using Makey Makey's I created a ring around my finger and a controller pad because was something I was interested and curious about that I've never done. I also made a one handed controller.
During this process I learned how keyboards connect to the computer and how electricity goes through you.
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 we used the resources at hand to create and learn.
A challenge I overcame on this project was being able to connect the controller with the computer. I was able to do it by clipping the panel in the the correct usb plug.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change the buttons. The reason why I would change it is because it would be easier to figure our what buttons to press if they were color coated. Given the chance to do it again on the other controller I would make another button so the dinosaur could properly jump and avoid cacti.

My project connects to the Technical Education CTE program t Hastings High School. My project connects to careers in software engineering.
We connected our controller to Jelly Mario and had 5 different buttons.
This is the controller and plate that it rests on.
This is the game we chose to base our second controller off of the Dinosaur Game.
This is our very basic second controller its only function is to make the dinosaur jump.
