p6 Makey Makey

Using the Makey Makey website and scratch website, I created lots of hings like a piano, guitar Pacman, and a ping pong game. I created this because we wanted to know what it felt like to use the alligator plugs and create things with them.

During this process, I learned how to create a computer piano and other instruments. And how to make a game out of plugs and a computer. I think this was the best and most fun project so far.

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 computational thinker because we had to talk about what we did and how we were doing it.

A challenge I overcame on this project was how to create the things I made and how to find out how to make them. I was able to do it by asking the people around us and using the google search engine. We did that because neither of us had used the Makey Makey webstie.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change how only one person got to do something then we switched. Instead we could of all did the projects. The reason why I would change it is because maybe someone got their feelings hurt.

My project connects to the computer programing CTE program at Hastings High School. My project connects to careers in toy engineering because it was like we were creating toys.
