Lesson Plan

Sending Binary Messages

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Pairs build a device that will be able to send a binary message. They then update their device to allow it to send four possible messages before upping the ante to eight. The provided self-assessment rubric comes with reflection questions for the pair — a great skill to practice.
