20. Turning code into pictures

We have now seen that we can create a code that allows us to draw a picture. I have thought of a drawing and used code to turn it into letters and numbers, which I have given you. Take note of the letters and numbers and use the code to reconstruct the drawing.

Required material: paper (preferably squared) and a pen.

Questions

Try to decode and draw the images I mention at the end of the video.

Here is the image that I had thought of, make it appear on your notebook and on the notebooks of all those who know the code!

Also have a look at the EU Code Week Learn&Teach resources, where you can find free, high-quality resources from around the world for teachers and students.
