7P8- Makey Makeys

Using Makey Makey, I created a controller with playdoh because we wanted to do something where we could play games. We also tried using aluminum foil.

During this process, I learned that playdoh is very conductive. Since I found this out I used aluminum foil since it isn't as conductive.

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 I choose to make this.

A challenge I overcame on this project was having to hold the poky thing. I was able to do it by using alligator clips.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change the back of the controller. The reason why I would change it is because the clips kept coming out.
