The makey makey

Here we have the makey makey. An egineering kit capable of converting anything into a controller or musical instrument if need be. We began phase one with graphite and pac man.

After some setbacks phase 2 went into the works and playdoh began to serve as our buttons.

The play doh served as an excellent conducter to the game's mainframe causing the pac man to move efficently.

Puzzle Cubes for Christmas!

The Puzzle Cube.
On the first day we received the materials to begin our little Christmas project.

We then began to brainstorm as many possible combinations for a cube as physically.

After solving all possible solutions the next step was too begin building the cube with two series of complex solutions.

After completing the sketches we had to go around and test the cube to see which one was most complex.

 After the Cube was assembled and glued and left to dry. It was ready to be prepped for packaging.

 The cube is now ready for  Christmas.
