Perimeter Guessing Game
Program Description
For my first project integrating Scratch and Makey Makey, I decided to create a simple program that asked the user to calculate the perimeter of a square that was drawn on the screen. To make it easier for the students, I had the length and width displayed at the top. However, I ran into problems with I realized that Makey Makey does permit number inputs. Therefore, I had to go back to the drawing board and create a different program that easily allowed for the integration of the Makey Makey.

Triangle Classification Makey Makey
In order to integrate the Makey Makey, I decided to go back and modify the Triangle Classification game. For this version the user hooks up the Makey Makey controls to the arrow key to move the wand around the screen. When the wand touches the name of a triangle it registers it as the answer. This was a fun modification and one that helped to make the program more interactive.
