Students will design an interactive play space. Students will plan, prototype and build a room that can be played like an instrument.
In the first session, the Teaching Artist will introduce the students to the Makey Makey and familiarize them with the technology and basics of electronic circuits. Students will engage in several introductory activities to build understanding of the materials and processes that allow the Makey Makey to work. The Teaching Artist will lead students in brainstorming the design of the Makey Makey Music Room to include desired materials, theme, types of music etc. The Teaching Artist will demonstrate how to access and explore audio software that will be used in the Makey Makey Music Room. Students will tinker around with audio software and music files to begin exploring sounds to be used in the final design. In the second session, the Teaching Artist will guide the students in building a prototype of the Makey Makey Music Room using modeling materials such as cardboard, playdoh, scissors, markers. Students will identify which sound files they will use in the final design. By the end of the session, the students will have completely defined the sounds, created the audio files and planned the layout of the room. For the final session, students will use their prototype to build the Makey Makey Music Room. Students will self-identify which part of the build they will be responsible for and will work in small groups to complete the build. Library customers and teachers will be invited into the Makey Makey Music Room to experience the student-created interactive space. |
