Day 1

I worked on the list of ten good ideas and planning questions.

day 2

I worked a little on the background of the pac man game

day 3

I worked on the board for the controls on the game. I learned a little bit about the makey makey because I did not do this last year.

Using Makey Makey, Aluminum foil, alligator clips, tape, cardboard, and a chromebook I played geometry dash. I also played pac man with the tin foil. I found this idea on the internet.
During this process, I learned how to use the Makey Makey. I wasn't able to do this in 7th grade because we did not have enough time. I learned how to connect alligator clips to tin foil to make it use those controls instead of the arrow keys.
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 Knowledge Constructor because I did not know how to use the Makey Makey at all. I used other classmates that did do this project to gain knowledge and learn a lot about the Makey Makey.
A challenge I overcame on this project was using the Makey Makey. I was able to do it by asking other classmates who were able to do it in 7th grade for help. They helped me learn the basics of the device.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change the game board for the pac man game. The reason why I would change it is because the arrows were too far apart. They were had to click sometimes.
