It was designed to expose children to binary numbers.
What is a binary number?
It is the code used by a computer to understand letters, number, symbols, and commands. The code uses groups of 8 numbers or a byte to represent each letter, number, symbol, and command you type in on a keyboard. The only numbers that the computer can use to create the code are 0’s and 1’s.

Your children may have trouble remembering how many zeros they need to include.
