Teen Space Program

with Miss. Amanda



The bad weather didn't stop some teens from stopping by the library for this month's Techno Star Hour program. This month we did Makey Makey coding.

With Makey Makey you can use everyday objects such a fruit, play dough, aluminum foil and even pencil graphite. We attempted to use modeling clay but the one purchased didn't work as a conductor. Instead we switched to aluminum foil which worked great.



Teens connected the aluminum foil to the Makey Makey controller using the provided alligator clips. This controller was hooked up to our laptops with the program opened.



For today's session we used the bongos and piano found here.
We also played Tetris found at that link as well.



While nobody was able to compose a masterpiece, everybody had lots of fun.
