Projects With Makey-Makey – Short Hills Week 2

Today at Short Hills, Ivy students dove into the broad and complex field of Electrical Engineering using their very own Makey-Makey kits. Students were educated in electrical engineering vocabulary prior to learning the engineering and design process. This provided the students with the foundation to help brainstorm creative ideas for projects.

These hard-working students persevered through trial and error to succeed in their project endeavors. 

The students managed to make functioning circuits to light up LED lights, functioning computer keyboards using nothing but tape, Play-Doh, and their Makey-Makey kits, and even functioning pianos!

Students work on connecting circuits to make a functioning piano.

Most significantly, the students learned the importance of collaboration and working together to solve problems. The students look forward to continuing their awesome experience with electrical engineering together throughout the rest of the week!
