Students will connect a Makey Makey to their project, then participate in a gallery walk showcase so they can explore their classmates' projects. They will then use a rubric to self-reflect on their work on this Unit 2 culminating project. This is a great project for a student showcase, community night, or STEAM/CS celebration!
