Step 1: Design Your Display

Using paper, cardboard, tape and creativity design a display to represent a time in Abe Lincoln's life.

Step 2: Use Scratch to Record the Facts About Abe's Life.

Step 3: Add Makey Makey

We used several different "button" types. Some used a foil bar to touch to make a connection. Press the picture to hear a fact. Others used buttons that had been 3-D printed and connected to the Makey Makey.
