Planning Questions
Are you working by yourself or in a team?
I will be working in a team with Parker and Weston monkey
What materials will you need for your project?
I will need the Makey Makey, alligator clips, aluminum foil, cardboard, and my computer
What is your plan to create in this project?
I will create a pac man game with the makey makey
What unique qualities will your project have?
The controls will be on cardboard with the makey makey.
I worked on the list of ten good ideas and planning questions.
I worked a little on the background of the pac man game
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.
I worked on the video for pac man.
I worked on building the board for the geometry dash game.
We made the video for the geometry dash.
I did my reflection and worked on completing my project. I worked on the final video of my project.
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.
