OMG! Today we were introduced to some amazing sites and technology, thanks to the guys from OMG tech, Viv and Krishna.
We did a bit of 01100010 01101001 01101110 01100001 01110010 01111001 (binary). I had always wondered how that worked so it was great fun to finally learn how to convert data to binary.

I also got to play Captain Destructo where we were able to dismantle a hard drive...such fun!! It was interesting to see the ins and outs of how it worked. It made me wonder how anybody realised they could put all these bits and pieces together to get a functioning product...scratchy head emoji.
We learnt an offline computer communication activity. This explains how a computer communicates. We mixed up the learning of how a computer works with a bit of fun playing pac man with a mix of components such as, play doh, cords, and wetware (humans).
