Using an iPad, Computer, Makey Makey, Playdoh, and makey makey.com, I created a controller with one button on the space bar of the makey makey board. Then, I went to the cookie clicker and used my click button to play it. I got 6 quadrillion cookies with it, and I definitely didn't do the "__ says opensesame" cheat.

During the process of making the button, I learned to read instructions. Without the instructions I was completely lost, but once I read the instructions sheet in the makey makey box, I figured everything out. My friends were having trouble making it work because they forgot to put one of the clips on the "Earth" part of the board and hold the metal part.

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 a computational thinker because I used a computer and programmed a computer like thing, and It took lots to do that. My project also ties to Global Collaborator because I am sharing this website with the entire digital world.

A challenge I overcame on this project was being absent the day my teacher gave me the instructions. I also missed picking a partner so i had to find a to work on the project with. Being absent made me miss directions so I had to figure it out on my own.

Given a chance to do this project again, I would make a phone because it seems fun. Talking to a friend through play-doe? That's cool. And I would try not to be absent most of the days we worked on the project.

Hastings High School Carrier and Technical Education Program Offers Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, and Marketing. My project connects to computer programming because I programed the Makey Makey board.
