With the world vastly advancing in technology, jobs like coding are very high in demand. Challenge your computer intelligence with this week’s Program Highlight, Computer Science!  

Today we will be making binary bracelets. Binary code is the simplest form of computer code. The coding system uses 0 and 1 to represent a letter, digit or other character in a computer. As their primary language, it’s the way most computers send, receive and store information. You’ll be practicing binary code by making binary bracelets that represent your name. 

Supplies:  

1. String
2. Beads (only 3 different colors)
3. Scissors 

Directions:

1. Cut your string so that it fits your wrist comfortably
2. Using this website, https://www.convertbinary.com/alphabet/ ,layout the beads so it makes your initials.

o For example, Ms. Philecia’s initials are P.L so her beads would look like

P=01010000 and L=01001100. She used orange for 0, blue for 1 and black as her dividers.

1. Once you’re finished, tie knots on the end so your beads don’t fall off and share a picture of your bracelet on Facebook and Instagram using #ClubAtHome
