Makey Makey Project

Bridie Lancaster-Butcher —

Here is another one of the Year 5/6s Makey Makey projects!

For this weeks project, students plugged the alligator clips into the board and the playdough.  Then plug one of the alligator clips into Earth, which is the bottom of the board. You also plug a USB cord into your device and the board. You need to hold onto one of the alligator clips, which will ground (go through) your body, (you don’t feel anything) and if another person is holding your wrist the electric current will ground through their body as well.

Then you can pick games on your Chromebook to play using the alligator clips and playdough.

That is this weeks Makey Makey project!
