After spending time creating and building code in a digital setting, it is important to allow the students to take what they learned in the digital setting and work with code in a physical setting. EVs give student this ability by letting them build a physical robot and then code it to perform specific tasks, showing students the power of code in a physical world. In creating real problems, they must be more through. With more EV3’s, students can work in smaller groups, allowing more student access and a better working environment. Once they have the basics of the code, students will then get to compete against each other for points to be the Lego EV3 champ of the class. In class, our students create a game using the program, Scratch, which allows them to create a game that others can play. This is great, but limited to keys on the keyboard. The Makey Makey will allow that game to have more dimensions. A Makey Makey can be used with anything that conducts electricity to be used for a desired function. This will make things like bananas, glasses of liquid and even others to be a part of what makes the game work. Scratch alone is a great program but when paired with a Makey Makey and the options for the way things are played, are limitless.
