In IDEA we are making musical projects that we can actually play. I am making a piano walkway for the front of the school walkway so that people would be more intrigued to walk through the main entrance. 

My project is made from wood, springs and a little button. I'll be attaching a  speaker to it so that it would work and create music. But for now it just uses springs to push itself up and down and buttons to act as a sensor for the speaker. 

I made my project by putting one piece of wood on the bottom and making holes in all of the tiles so that I can put the springs in it while on the bottom there are little holes that keep the buttons in place. This also makes it so that the button doesn't break from the weight of the person stepping on it. I put a long piece of wood in front of the piano so that people won't be able to mess with anything inside if the piano. There is enough room in the back of the piano, that I could hook up the wires from the buttons and hook it up to a speaker. This means when you step on the tile it will play the note that I assigned it to. The hinges that are screwed into the back piece of wood makes it so that you could easily step on the tile without it breaking. I also made sure that the piano doesn't take up the whole entire walkway so that if anyone doesn't want to step on it they don't have to. All I have to do now is screw in the tiles to the back.

My inspiration for my project is when I watched a video of piano stairs and each stair was its own key. They also look like piano keys.

The purpose of my project is to make people want to go through the main entrance so people stop going through the high school. My project will be located in the main walkway entrance under the brick wall next to the gym doors.
