Using pipe cleaners and red/green/white pony beads, students can code their initials or a three-letter word in binary using beads to make as a gift. Great unplugged coding and computer science activity. This lesson includes the Google slides for your students to use. The binary alphabet is included, a video describing binary and how it is used in the real world, and instructions for making the project. It is a quick 20-30 minute educational, screen free coding activity great for holiday season!
