MaKey MaKey projects

We are in the home stretch finishing out the year with a project using MaKey MaKey.  Designed by two graduate students at MIT, MaKey MaKey essentially replaces the keyboard and uses electrical currents to activate the keyboard functions and the mouse. The creativity is flowing as evidenced by the photos below. It's been a great year!

Today's assignment for B day students

Complete your dream home and upload it to my dropbox when you are finished today. I am postponing the due date for your AR project until next Tuesday - so do not fret. Today's lesson will give you an intro to 3d modeling with Google SketchUp. If you are with me next year in Computer 7 we'll be doing more of this. Watch the video to get the basics and then let your imagination run wild. Note: Your grade will be based on the creativity and structure of the home and not the items you put in it or around it.
