Binary Necklaces

Unlock the Code—Create and Learn Programming with Binary Necklaces!

The Binary Necklaces Kit offers a fun and hands-on way to introduce children to the basic language of computers—binary code. Binary, made up of ones and zeros, is the foundation of communication between computers, from controlling robot movements to transmitting data like the images we receive from space. With this kit, kids will dive into the world of coding by encoding and decoding images using binary and even creating their own unique necklaces that spell out words in binary code.

More than just a craft, this engaging kit helps children understand how computers use programming languages to send instructions and communicate. Alongside building their own binary necklaces, kids will get creative with custom coding activities and explore how codes can be used to create drawings.

Designed for 1st to 8th graders, the kit comes with reusable materials to allow endless fun, and provides enough supplies for at least two necklaces. The included full-color instructions ensure a smooth learning experience while offering ideas for continued exploration. With an estimated time of 60 to 90 minutes, it's a perfect STEM kit for classrooms, homeschool environments, or individual learning.
