Our program is a motorcycle. We put a sound sensor and touch sensor on it. We built it with Legos and art.

The Pico is the device that controls all of the programs. The Pico controls the sensors, the motor and the sound box. The touch sensor is on the Pico. The sound sensor is on the Pico. The motor is on the Pico. The sound sensor makes the motor go. The touch sensor makes the melodies work.

It fits into town because you see motorcycles there. Zach kind of inspired us but we also thought it was a cool idea.

Our project is a Basketball Stadium. We want the people who see our project to be Cavaliers fans. Basketball is a great sport. You have a lot of fun playing it. Basketball is fun for friends.

First we made the car out of Legos. Then we programmed the lights to make a pattern. We added a light sensor so if it is dark, it turns on the light pattern. We added a sound sensor then so if it is loud, it turns on the motor.

Basketball stadiums are in towns. We both like basketball. William likes Lebron and Alex likes Ninja. (Lebron is dunking it and the Ninja is trying to block the ball).

Our project is an airplane. It doesn't fly, but it goes forward, backward and makes sound.

We started out trying to make a helicopter, but then we started making wings. Then we built the legos. We added the PickCricket. Next we made the runway in art.

It has to do with the class theme because people in a town take airplanes. We decided to do an airplane because we wanted to make something that had to do with flying.

Our project is an orchestra in a town. The class theme is town. We thought music would be nice, and since there was music included in the PicoCricket, we could do it. Our project is an orchestra with a flute, a violin and a piano. The hard thing about it is that you can't do exactly what you want the Pico to do.

When the PicoCricket is off, we present the orchestra. We turn the Cricket on and clap into the sound sensor. One of us pulls the wire connected to the curtains. The sound sensor detects a loud sound and the lights and music turn on.
