- Define circuits
- Describe the features of a circuit
- Identify different types of circuits
- Design and invent creative ways to interact with the computer as I learn the concept of circuits.
- Sketch and create video game prototypes.
- Assess the prototype designs through user testing, observations and other students (focus groups).
- Create interactive objects or environments
- Based on feedback, I can modify my design to improve it.

Can I use multiple Makey Makeys at once on 1 computer?
Can I use multiple Makey Makeys at once on 1 computer?
Yes! You can plug in two or more at once and create an orchestra of Makey Makeys! (tested with up to 3, but could work for more)

How do I use the back of the Makey Makey?
How do I use the back of the Makey Makey?
The connections on the back of the Makey Makey are what's called "female header." They're rows of little sockets, designed for wires to stick into. One easy way to use them is with connector wires (a.k.a. jumper wires), which are wires with little pins on either end that stick nicely into the header. These come in the kit. You can also buy them separately, but be sure to get the male/male ones, like these: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/11026 Jumpers are convenient, but you can also plug regular wire into the header. Solid core wire is best, and you will need wire strippers to remove the insulation from the ends of the wire. You can also find clever ways to use stuff you already have- for example, we've found that both paper clips and safety pins work great for this purpose!
