It is believed that they could be 18 million light years away from us. Their existence is found by their interaction/lighting with other things in the universe. It […]

I know, I might sound kind of weird but one of my favorite animals are Tarantulas… Tarantulas give people the creeps because they have large, hairy bodies and legs. While these large spiders can take a painful bite out of a human, a tarantula’s venom has a low toxicity to people. Tarantulas move slowly on […]
In the last lesson we learned about binary numbers, which are the way computers understand numbers. The next thing we will now study is how we can build simple hardware to add numbers. Once we can add numbers, we can do any math operation, like subtraction, multiplication and division that will be covered later. Being […]
Programming, or “Coding” is the way humans are able to communicate instructions to computers. They use special programming languages which take words, and translate them to a format that can be understood by computers.
