Interactive Design and Programming with Makey Makey

The Makey Makey can be used to create interactive art, animations, music, or game. This week we will focus on music by writing a program using Scratch and then controling our program using the Makey Makey. Once you have created the basic program, you can add art elements or other interactive features.

Objectives:

• Modify a Scratch musical program to work with the Makey Makey.
• Experiment using different materials with the Makey Makey to control the program.
• Customize the music program by adding additional interactive elements.

1) Review this Music Example (Choir) and discuss how it can be modified to work with the Makey Makey.

2) Write a similar program using controls that work with the Makey Makey.

3) Test your program, and use different conductive materials to make your program run (be creative).

4) Reflect on your results below:
