Daily log:
Day 1: me made the controller move up and down and click.
Day 2: we figured out how so make the controls works.
Day 3: just figuring out how it works.
Day 4: we made a button for geometry dash.
Day 5: we made 4 buttons
Day 6: we made buttons for a piano
Day 7: we made a video and edited it.

Using a Makey Makey , I created a button for geometry dash because that is one thing we thought of. another thing we made with the Makey Makey was multiple piano keys. Another thing we try to make but did not work was we tried to make buttons for snake but this is when we did not know we had to connect to earth to make it work.
During this process, I learned how to be more careful using technology. I also learned that you have to connect to earth to work. the last thing i learned was that with the Makey Makey you can pretty much make any controller you want.
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 i got to pick what i could make with the Makey Makey. Another reason my project ties to Empowered learner is because me and my partner pick how we wanted to do it.
A challenge I overcame on this project was that me and my partner did not know that we had to connect to earth to make it work. I was able to do it by connecting to earth. Another challenge i overcame was finding out what to make.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change how i set it all up when i was done. The reason why I would change it is because all the cables were all tangled up. i would also change the things me and my partner did.
