Why was the computer cold?
Because it left its Windows open! 🖥️❄️
We are excited to share that our EMS 6th grade scientists had an amazing time today, thanks to the wonderful Sarah Halcomb from the Paul Sawyier Public Library. Sarah hosted an engaging STEM activity where students created binary code bracelets, sparking their interest in computer science and coding.
While we’re at it… What even is binary code? Binary code is a way of representing information using only two symbols: 0 and 1. Computers use binary code to process and store data because they operate using electrical signals, which have two states: on (1) and off (0). Each digit in binary code is called a "bit," and combinations of bits can represent numbers, letters, and other characters. For example, the binary code for the letter "A" is 01000001. It's like a secret language that computers use to understand and perform tasks!
Thank you to everyone involved in making this event a success. We look forward to more exciting opportunities to inspire our young scientists!
