Class Experience

Learners will create a bracelet with a secret message using binary code. Binary is a system used by computers to relay information that only uses 2 numbers 0 and 1. 

Students will learn to count using the binary system and then how to read letters in binary. They will practice making different letters and deciphering different letters/words from binary to English. Then they will create a bracelet with their name in binary on it. Students will create these messages by ordering different color beads on pipe cleaners.

Learning Goals

Students will learn about binary and practice creating and deciphering messages in binary.
