The Medium Pixel Board

ages 4 - 9

The Pixel Boards demonstrate representation, specifically image representation and how computers use numbers to represent images. Using black and white tiles as pixels, children create images based on simple numerical codes of 1s and 0s, and can design and code their own images. With 3 different sizes of pixel boards, children can see the change in resolution — as the number of pixels increases, so does the amount of detail. Great for dexterity and focus. A progression in complexity from the small board, with opportunity for children to design and code their own patterns.
