7P6 Makey Makey

Using play-doh and makey makey, I created a snake controller because it seemed pretty simple. It was pretty hard to make it work but it worked out in the end. I found it was pretty easy to use the play-doh to make buttons.

During this process, I learned how to make a circuit. I also learned  how to use yourself to transfer energy. These could be helpful if I want a career in engineering.

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 Global Collaborator because I am sharing my project. I think sharing our projects online is a good idea because it can get us feedback.

A challenge I overcame on this project was not being able to figure out the makey makey. I was able to do it by not giving up. Something may be difficult but in the end, if you don't give up, it will be good.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change how long it took me to figure it out. The reason why I would change it is because I could only do one project. I would have liked to do more
