๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŽ“ Student
Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Choose a short word (3-4 letters) to encode
2
Use binary chart to convert each letter to binary (e.g., A = 01000001)
3
Assign bead colors to represent 0 and 1
4
String beads in binary pattern for each letter
5
Tie bracelet and challenge others to decode it
Observations
Computers use binary code because electronic circuits easily represent on/off states. This fundamental concept underpins all digital technology.
Hypothesis
We can represent any letter or number using only two symbols, just like computers do."
Conclusion
Computers use binary code because electronic circuits easily represent on/off states. This fundamental concept underpins all digital technology.
