Act-Belong-Commit Young Artist Academy
USING : THE CODE
Hi there, I'm Richelle!
I’m part of the North Midlands Project team in Carnamah in the Mid West region of Western Australia. Each week I'll be adding a new coding Young Artist Academy activity the whole family can enjoy.
The activities will be for a range of different devices including some that don’t even need a computer or tablet; and for a range of different skill levels.
When an activity has been completed take a photo, draw a picture or take a screenshot and email it to hello@northmidlands.org.au or get your parent to share it in our Act-Belong-Commit Creative @ Home group on Facebook.
To keep the fun going you can also book a free 'Family Zoom' session with me for this activity. Click here to book a session. (Family Zooms are available to pe)ple living in the Mid West region of Western Australia)
If you have a question please email me at programs@northmidlands.org.au
Materials
- Paper
- Pen or pencil
- Binary Code Table (provided below)
- No Tech required
Activity
Computers don’t use letters, numbers and words to do things they use combinations of 1 and 0.
This is called Binary Code.
Letters, numbers and other characters have an ASCII code that can be written as different combinations of 1 and 0
Below is a table showing the letters of the alphabet, the ASCII code for each letter and the Binary code that represents the ASCII code. You will notice that there is a different code for each lower case letter and a code for each Capital letter.
Using the table write down your name in Binary Code.
If you want more of a challenge write a sentence about staying home in Binary Code.
My name is 01010010 01101001 01100011 01101000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01100101
Can you decode it??

Once you have completed the activity take a photo your CODE and post it in our Act-Belong-Commit Creative @ Home group on Facebook or email your photo to hello@northmidlands.org.au
