You will need your name plate, a Makey Makey and your conductive pencil. Connect one alligator clip to the silver area on the upper left of your name plate and earth on the Makey Makey. Connect the second alligator clip to your conductive pencil and the space bar on the Makey Makey. Practice writing your name to hear sounds. Can you make the sound play the entire time you are writing your name?
This project was created during a ScratchEd Meetup Birmingham 2023. The idea originated from a collaboration between an elementary special education teacher and a Girls Who Code group to tackle the challenge of getting students to want to continue practice writing their names.
