With winter program over, students are eagerly back into Friday STEM experiences.  We revisited our learning of binary code from back in December and took our knowledge out to explore the community.

Students were presented with 100-year-old photos of Green Lake businesses. Each photo included its street address written in binary code.  Students were tasked with decoding the numbers and then visiting each location to take a photo.

In each photo, students are standing either facing the camera or away from it, representing ones and zeros.  Their body language spells out the street address in binary!
