makey makey

My project consists of designing, taping, painting, writing with paint and a makey makey board. We made a piano that accurately works out of cardboard and foil and some alligator clips with wires connecting the cords there was also duck tape across the middle and duck tape holding on the tin foil at the bottom of each key that we connected the cords to. I learned you can take everyday objects and connect them with the internet and make almost anything that you want to create of your own design. A challenge I faced was at first the piano wasn't making any noise because we didn't had a ground cord. We accomplished this challenge by adding a ground cord and that solved our problem that we had came upon. After we added the ground cord the piano actually played noise and everything worked successfully.

Something I would do differently next time is make the project smaller because it took a while just to get the card board painted and at the point we hadn't even started hooking up the makey makey and figuring out how the number piano was going to work. I learned that you can take about anything like an everyday object and connect it with the internet and make almost anything that you want out of it.

The standards that my project ties to is being an empowered learner and set personal learning goals for things that this project can connect to in future jobs like an engineer or even a researcher. My groups number one learning goal for the makey makey was to make a piano that at least works.
