The Card Flip Magic trick helps to demonstrate how computers detect errors in the binary data they send and receive using parity checks. Inspired by Parity magic from CS Unplugged
Use this CS Unplugged activity to demonstrate how Events work.
When you make an LED card, you are bringing together the fundamentals of electronics that make up computing devices - power (battery), input (using a pressure sensor to open or close a circuit) and output (LED light). It’s also a great way to reinforce the binary states of on and off that are at the core of how all computing devices work.
Inspired by Dear Data, a book that highlights a year-long data drawing project between two friends, this activity helps students go through the process of telling a story with their own data by formulating a question, collecting the data, analyzing the data, and interpreting and communicating their story.
Every day our privacy is at risk with data being collected about us as we share and live more of our lives online. For this activity, you will explore how you do and do not protect your privacy online and then create a security avatar to help you battle for your privacy.
