The fourth project- My favorite instrument

The idea of invention literacy is quite impressive for me, especially the saying"If it can be created by a human, then it can be recreated by you, me, and all of us. But only if we all believe in ourselves as inventors (and re-inventors)."( Jay Silver, Invention literacy)

Inspired by the idea that every human-created staff can be recreated by me and the class instruction, I start to think about use Makey Makey to recreate my favorite instrument- Guzheng.

I have played it for a few years and I still play it to relieve my stress recently. So I decided to choose it as my recreated object.

Firstly, I recorded the sound of Guzheng on my iphone and wrote a simple script on Scractch to use those sounds. The special thing for Guzheng is that, it mainly have 5 strings （12356）for one scale and you need to press the string to get 4 and 7. So I decided to choose the simplest version of the piece "Jasmine". As for the objects to connect to my laptop, Yanfang has proposed me to use teacups when I discussed my idea with her. So I adopted this idea and combined it with Scratch.

But I only take 5 wires back so I still need to press z besides touching the 5 teacups.

And this is the original version of this music, hope you enjoy it!
