Investigating Pictures and Code | Lesson Plan

Explore the relationship between a picture and code as foundational knowledge of how digital information is coded, received, and decoded. This GBH lesson plan incorporates a historical context of the first pixelated image sent to space (the Arecibo message) and includes an interactive model in which students work toward the goal of describing how a code can be used to make a picture.
