Planning Questions
Are you working by Yourself or in a team?
For this project I will be working in a team with three people including myself.
What materials will you need?
The materials we will need for this is a makey makey set and a computer or Chromebook.
What is your plan to make in this project.
My plan to create this project is to work with my team and create two of our ideas and make the makey makey and post it on our website.
What unique qualities will your project have?
The unique qualities our project will have is that we will work together to create our makey makey project and we will have our own ideas.
Step 1
We put all the alligator clips into the playdough
Step 2
We then connected them to the makey makey
Step 3
we finally got it set up and plugged I into the chromebook piano.

We have a fully functional makey makey piano and a little song too swell and ease your pleasant mind.
Step 1
We clipped on the alligator clips to the makey makey and put them into the playdough.
Step 2
We plugged the makey makey into the computer and set it up for a certain tetris config.

Video of us playing some Tetris on the makey makey controller with a config set up to make it easier with the makey makey.
Using a makey makey, alligator clips and playdough, I created A Tetris controller and piano because we wanted to start out with something easy so the controller with arrow keys was pretty simple and then the piano was a bit harder with arranging the keys by the piano sounds to make the piano correct.
During this process, I learned how to use a makey makey and alligator clips to create something new.
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 innovative designer because I had to make different size buttons and put the cords in the right line up so they wouldn't be a tangled mess, and I had to make sure that everything worked correctly with color coding of the alligator clips.
A challenge I overcame on this project was the clips not fitting in the holes of the makey makey. I was able to do it by maneuvering the clips into the hoes because they would fall out if I did it the easy way.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change how we set up the piano, we could've made the tiles much cooler, and sorted it out more to make it less of a mess. The reason why I would change it is because it would've been 10x more interesting and clean looking.
