Using Computer Code

Reading Class
February 5, 2014 - Digital Learning Day



When the scientists at JPL needed to tell Opportunity to save all of it's resources and basically shut down for 3 days during the dust storm on Mars, they told it using computer code.  In fact, all of the messages to the rovers were written in computer code.  But what is code?

Let's take some time during digital learning day to explore computer code.  When you are done, write a blog entry about what you saw, learned, did today.

    Nereid, Halimede, Sao how about Laomedeia Psamathe and Neso?

    I’m so cool, infact i’m windy, you could even say i’m a little bit stormy, I don’t ask for much, maybe just a friend or maybe being alone is the new trend. I’m not really sure what i should do since i always wear my favorite sweater and it looks blue.
