A cross-curricular activity that combines Physical Computing, STEM and Geography. The use of the Makey Makey kit is the core of the project which is coded with Scratch. The students used 3D puzzles of cultural monuments that they made and they put them on the world map. Alligator clips are attached on the puzzles and every time they touch each of them, some information of them is showed on screen. Coding in Scratch is easy,but the specific studemts have experience in Coding with Scratch.
