For this station, your group will be provided with a Makey Makey kit.
Before starting to work on your actual project, you need to become familiar with the Makey Makey and spend some time playing around with it. Watch the video below first. Don't try to follow along with your group's Makey Makey. Just watch the video so you can understand how it works.
Now that you've watched the video above, go ahead and spend some time just playing around with the Makey Makey and testing it out with different apps and different conductive materials (Play-Doh, fruit, tin foil, metal washers, pencil markings, etc.) Feel free to bring in some of your own conductive materials so you can try them out.

Go HERE or HERE to find some Apps that will work well with your Makey Makey. Feel free to look for other games or apps that will work too.
​Once you have a solid understanding of how everything works, you should turn your attention towards creating your very own Makey Makey project.

Here are the guidelines for your project:
  1. It must be constructed in such a way that the Makey Makey itself is HIDDEN.
  2. The connecting wires/alligator clips must also be hidden (as much as possible).
  3. Your project must have a clear purpose. For example, maybe it's a controller that is used to play a video game. Or maybe it's a musical instrument. Or, perhaps you will come up with another creative purpose for your project!
​After you complete your project, you will need to get a video camera from the green basket on Mr. Locke's desk and record a video on it. At the beginning of the video, all group members should be involved in explaining the project and how it works. You should also explain any problems you encountered along the way and how you solved those problems.

Then, of course, you will need to record the project in action. In this part of the video, it is extremely important that we see everything that is going on. For example, if you created a video game controller, then we should see both the project and the computer screen in the video. Don't just keep going back and forth between showing the project and showing the computer screen. Instead, shoot the video from an angle that will capture both at the same time. 
​
When you have finished shooting the video, put the video camera in the pink basket.
