Makey Makey Engineering and Design ProjectChallenge: Create an interactive project using the Makey Makey to make a controller.
Constraints: Bring items from home or use materials provided in class (brads, cardboard, paper clips, pencils). Use nonperishable items. If you borrow an idea, give the original creator credit and add your own ideas. Please only bring items that can stay at school. Things you don't want back. These will be put in a group area to share. Possible items to bring from home (no sharp items please): metal bottle caps, metal spoons, metal jar lids, brad fasteners, binder clips, aluminum foil, etc. |

Standards:
3-5-ETS1-1.Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.
3-5-ETS1-2.Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
3-5-ETS1-3.Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.
