On Tuesday, Mr Cook-Bonney came and taught Room 13 about makey makeys. Makey Makeys allow you use anything as a computer, like a part of your body. We used Makey Makeys to make our hands (and other things) as the keys to move to a game called Jump Frog. When then began coding. We used Scratch to code and the Makey Makeys to make pieces of paper into buttons. We learnt about different conductors, including graphite which is in pencils. We then drew buttons on pieces of paper, connected the Makey Makeys and recorded sound. We then coded using scratch, so when one button is pressed, a sound clip that was recorded then played. It was so much fun and we learned a lot about different types of digital technology and how we can incorporate into our Kaitiaki project. Thanks Mr Cook-Bonney!
