A 3rd grade class had fun bringing to life the biographies they wrote about preschoolers at our school with Makey-Makeys!
Students first interviewed a preschooler and asked them questions about his/her self and life. 3rd graders then took that back to class and wrote a biography about the preschooler. Next, they picked the four most interesting facts about the preschooler and drew a picture that represented it. They recorded themselves reading the facts and combined that with a code in Scratch that played their recording. Finally, with my help, they hooked up a Makey-Makey to the coordinating input keys and transformed their drawing into an interactive display for preschoolers to come see and hear! Take a look at the easy code in Scratch that made this all possible!
