Reflection

Using makey makey , I created a game controller, a piano, bongos, and a guitar because I needed to program the makey makey to make it do things with electrical charged things like tin foil, play dough, and bananas.

During this process, I learned that in order to make the things work you have to touch the bottom of the makey makey chip to complete the electric charge.

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 I used wires and a computer and tin foil to create the things I created.

A challenge I overcame on this project was Figuring out how to make the makey makey projects work. I was able to do it by touching different things and watching videos.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change the play dough in the game controller to tinfoil. . The reason why I would change it is because the play dough didn't work very well.
