Using the Makey Makey Kit, I created a glove activation glove because I thought it would a fun idea to activate something just by touching it. During this process, I learned how to use alligator cables. The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project is tied to Computational Thinker because I thought of possible ways to make the project. A challenge I overcame on this project was the alligator cables weren't able to stay in place properly. I was able to do it by placing the cables at different angles making them stay together better. Given a chance to do this again, I would change the sensitivity of the device. The reason why I would change it is that I didn't like how stiff they were.
