Go to scratch.mit.edu, log into or create an account if you do not already have one, then create a new project.

Add the Pen extension to the project.

Then, create a sprite that is able to move around and can use the pen. As well as a way to change colors and brightness.


Create the Things for the Makey Makey

  1. Carve out a rectangular piece of cardboard with a scissor or knife
  2. Insert the Brass Paper Fasteners through the cardboard
  3. Tape the bottom of the Brass Paper Fasteners on the opposite side of the cardboard for stability
  4. Insert more until you have enough for each button on your scratch program
  5. Label them on the back side of what button they should be with a sharpie
  6. Add a base for stability
  7. Create something wearable that connects to the ground of the Makey Makey with something attached to you (such as a tin foil ring)

The Makey Makey

Connect the Makey Makey to your device, then connect the bottom of the brass fasteners to the Makey Makey with alligator clips to the controls, and you should be done!
