Week Two

This week we learned more in detail how bits are used to make up everything:  how combinations of 1 and 0 can represent squares on a grid.
We also played a game with bowling pins to represent how computers share packets from each other, one at a time, and have to rearrange the information in order. They also send copies to make sure no errors happen along the way.  We learned a "magic trick" that demonstrates how this idea works of counting up the 1's and 0's.
We also met in the library and learned a lot about how to do research, the intercollegiate library system we have, and what sources are considered more credible than others.

Overall it's been a fun week,  hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend, and this upcoming week too!
