Scratch

Project Notes

We used a purple glove, some yellow feathers, googly eyes, and a LEGO WeDo kit to make a puppet. With scratch and the WeDo, we can do a new kind of puppetry. The feathers on the puppet are motorized, so they can spin when the puppet is excited. The scratch project uses the tilt sensor to decide when they spin. You can also use the scratch project as a backdrop for a puppet show, by holding up your puppet in front of a screen or a projection. What kind of a puppet will you make? How will you use the motor and sensors to add special effects to your puppet? Where will it go on its adventure? This project uses the LEGO WeDo.
