Use the pen and paper to design your maze before you build it. » Get creative! Add some dead-ends, narrow passageways, spiral patterns, and more!

Clip one wire onto the positive end of your battery and stick the other end into a piece of clay. » Clip another wire onto the negative end of the battery and stick its other end into a separate piece of clay. » Stick each leg of the LED into the 2 pieces of clay, respectively. » If your LED doesn’t light up, try flipping it. The legs are polarized and the longer leg of the LED is the positive one.

Roll the modeling clay out and use it to build the walls of your maze. » Attach two wires to the positive and negative ends of the battery, respectively. » Attach the other end of the negative wire onto the shorter leg of the LED, then stick the longer leg of the LED anywhere into the clay wall. » Attach the other end of the positive wire to the magnet. » Use another magnet underneath the table to move the top magnet through your maze!

Repeat step three, but this time try a more complex maze configuration. » Use the maze that you drew in step one!

On your laptop, go to the following url to get to the Scratch Sketch: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/11721101/ In this game, you set up how much time you will have to get through the maze, say 60 seconds, and every time you hit a wall, you lose 10 seconds on your timer!

Remove the wires from the battery and the LED. » Clip the other end of the wire that is attached to the magnet to the down arrow on the MaKey MaKey. » Clip another wire onto the Earth of the MaKey MaKey and stick its opposite end directly into the wall of your maze. » Attach your MaKey MaKey to your laptop and then try to get through your maze before the timer runs out! Good luck!
