Makey Hallway Piano
This project was the final project for our club. We started by playing the piano scene from the 1988 movie Big (see link below) to get students excited about the project. This project took 4 hours to create, 1 hour spent on each of the processes: cardboard switch, wiring, decorating, set-up & programming.
For our final showcase we brought the kids through the library on their way to lunch, we were able to let every student, teacher, and administrator walk across the piano. And it survived!
