Description

What is Binary?
Binary is a pattern of zeros and ones that have meaning attached to them. Binary is a base-2 number system (as opposed to our normal base 10 system) invented by Gottfried Leibniz.

The 0 and 1 in binary represent either off or on. 0 means no flow of electricity and 1 means electricity is flowing. Even though computers don’t necessarily turn the electricity on and off in the same way anymore, we use this two-number system to communicate a lot of information in a computer!

Instructions

Decide what colors you want to use. Each bracelet will only use two colors, but you can use a third color for the elastic.

We used pipe cleaners as our arm bands, but if you want bracelets that the child can wear over and over, use elastic string so it is easy to take on and off.

If your child doesn’t want to wear a bracelet, these can also be made into keychains or backpack pulls.

Follow the binary pattern to make your words. Tie the ends of the string together, and wear with pride!

It’s a little thing, but my daughter’s confidence was boosted as she wore her secret words of affirmation binary coding bracelets.
