 I am working with a team

What materials will you need for your project?

 i will need a makey makey and some play dough

What is your plan to create in this project?

 I plan  on making something with playdough

What unique qualities will your project have?

 It will have purple playdough if there is any of it.

 List of ten good ideas for makey makey

1. game controller

2. voting machine

3. gummy bear   things

4. banana things

5.  playdough things

6.  electric thing

7. paper thing

8.  apple  thing

9. tin foil electricity thing

10. drum set

• Using an makey makey, I created a thing to do  a etch and sketch because I looked very interesting. One more thing that I made with the makey makey is   I made a  easy access thing that you press. I made these things because the looked like they would be fun to make.

• During this process, I learned how  to connect the  alligator clips and where I could connect them. I also learned how to find out the apps that you use to create the thing a and so that the  makey makey can  do stuff on  the computer from being on a cord.

• 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 being am creative communicator because b we were talking to each other about are ideas and what we were going to make. also because we have to figure out were to put there clamps  and  I had to talk to some one to do that.

• A challenge I overcame on this project was to figure out were I should put there alligator clamps. I was able to do it by looking at a video of the project that I was doing. On smore challenge is   trying to get a cord but I found it eventually. One more challenge that I over came was   the playdough  buttons. I was able to do it my getting a really big piece of play dough and using that instead of a small one.

• Given a chance to do this again, I would change the amount of time that I got to do this project. The reason why I would change it is because   I would like to try to do more things with the  makey makey not just two things . I would also change the play dough it falling apart on us well we were trying to use it.

• Hastings High School Career and Technical Education Program offers Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, Marketing.  My project connects to the  engineering and designs CTE program at Hastings High School.  

• My project connects to careers in   engineering and design because we are engineering a  control thing  for the computer.  For example  were making the  etcha scetch by a remote controller. We also just  made a controller  with playdough for the game.
