## Bit:Box

Educational device, app, and website using switches and lights to visually demonstrate binary logic.

PreviousNext

Bit:Box is an evolution of the Binary Light Box concept, a device which used lightbulbs and an Arduino microcontroller to visually demonstrate how binary numbers work and the values assigned to each binary column. By interacting with the light switches, students could better understand the concepts of binary counting, place values, and logic.

### Bit:Box Vs Binary Light Box

The Binary Light Box was created to teach SEND students how binary works using physical lightbulbs and switches. The device was comprised of an MDF body with a black vinyl layer on the top. Inside the box was a micro:bit and several breakout boards to allow the device to sense when a switch was toggled and update a seven segment display to show the user the output.
