Integrating digital technologies and Art, this resource teaches concepts of coding, binary digits and pixel art.
Students decode the numbers to create animal themed pixel images. They develop understanding of binary by having each pixel programmed as being black or white (on or off).
Three difficulty levels for different abilities with the chance to design, create and encode their own animal art for others to decode too!
Computational thinking coverage includes:
algorithms
debugging
sequential instructions
binary
decomposition
data representation in images

NEW & IMPROVED!!
Integrating digital technologies and Art, this resource teaches concepts of coding, binary digits and pixel art.
Students decode the numbers to create space themed pixel images. They develop understanding of binary by having each pixel programmed as being black or white (on or off).
***Update: ***Teachers can now choose from two methods to teach about binary (on/off) either through using number sequences or binary on/off symbols!
