The Ones and Zeros of Computing

April - 2020

Things to do:

Start with Switches, then call then bits.
Single switch that changes a number from 1 to zero
Single switch that turns a light on and off
Two switches, two lights
Seven switches to make an LED type number
Transition to by showing how the one switch per segment for the nine numbers sucks compared to using binary bits and how many numbers you can make with that.
Show black and white colors via switches.
Show a black and white color picker that then sets the switches
Show a RGB color picker.
Show Letters ASCII
