Hello @Dace ! In your case, you forgot to ground the output for the your button. You can use this scheme as an example (I added an LED so that you can check its performance in advance):

Here is an events example:



You can also check your circuit in Arduino IDE in advance (Before you start working with the Ready Maker):

const int buttonPin = 2; 
const int ledPin =    8; 
void setup() {

   pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
   pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);
}

void loop() {

   int buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);

   if (buttonState == HIGH) {

           digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);

   } else {

           digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);

     }
 }
