Description
Use the Makey Makey along with Scratch to take a survey or poll. You can program this code to count or track almost anything. This project uses separately programmed switches to help tabulate the data. Students can help design the question, or the interface as well customize the coding.
Standards:
Computational Thinking
Data Analysis and Visualization
4-6.CT.2 Collect digital data related to a real-life question or need.
Networks and Systems Design
Hardware and Software
7-8.NSD.2 Design a project that combines hardware and software components.
Subjects:
Works with all subjects
Details:
Each individual switch is created with both a ground and a key press/input piece. This project uses 1 alligator cord to connect each ground element in one path using aluminum foil with copper foil tape.
Each key press action is represented by a separate piece of cardboard covered in foil. Each key uses its own dedicated alligator cord.
Supplies:
Makey Makey
Index cards, Chipboard, etc.
Box cutter
Foil
Copper foil or other similar item like conductive fabric tape
