Binary Bracelet Poster

Binary is the base-2 language that computers depend on represented in zeroes and ones. A binary digit is a string of eight zeros and ones. All of the letters of the alphabet can be represented in a binary digit. Use this poster to easily move from a letter to a binary digit (a “bit”). To turn this into a hands-on activity, take two different color or shape beads. Use one color to represent zeroes and another to represent ones. String the beads onto a pipe cleaner or string to make a bracelet that expresses the student’s initials in binary.
