This assignment is the capstone project in this course. It will culminate in a performance of an original project on April 28th or 30th, 2015. (Details are in the What You Are To Do section.)
You may pick your own partner(s) for this assignment, but each team must consist of either two or three partners. Thus, you may not work alone, and no team can have more than three members.
Your final project can take any one of the following three forms.
You can create your own instrument using the MaKey MaKey board with Scratch as we did in the very first project of the semester, but now in a more sophisticated manner given all that you’ve learned since then.
You can create an interactive Scratch program that incorporates music in some way. To see examples of such programs, go to http://scratch.mit.edu and search the millions of projects there for music-related programs or, for a more direct approach, check out http://scratch.mit.edu/galleries/view/69197, “Cool Music Projects.”
Pick a partner or partners.
