ByteEd Unplugged Resource: ByteEd Coding Kiwiana Pixel Art
Our first resource is up and ready for you to download today.
Integrating digital technologies and art, this resource teaches concepts of coding, binary digits and pixel art.
Students decode the numbers to create Kiwiana pixel images and develop understanding of binary digits 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 Kiwiana art for others to decode too!
Computational thinking coverage includes:
- Algorithms
- Debugging
- Sequential instructions
- Binary
- Decomposition
- Data representation in images
