8P8 Makey-Makey

Using Makey-Makey, I created piano music because my group wanted to see how fast we could make it.

During this process, I learned you need aluminum foil, a wire connected to the Makey- Makey to play on the playdoh keys and the app to play the music.

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 Empowered Learner because our learning goal was to finish this in 2 or 3 days. We made a lot of process in those two days and finished, but we still had to get the project on the website.

A challenge I overcame on this project was putting the alligator clips(wire) on the playdoh to make it work. I was able to do it by sticking the alligator clip that was connected to the Makey-Makey and put it in playdoh.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change the music into a game like last year how we played crossey road.. The reason why I would change it is because I want to do something more intense .
