Name Project

Part 1

  • Write your first name in capital, block letters. (At least 5 letters.)
  • On graph paper make the block letters. Make sure you leave spaces between the letters. Each letter should be 6 squares high. You can’t use partial squares.
  • Label the top row of the letters as the 1’s, the second from the top row, the 2’s, the 3rd from the top, the 4’s, the 4th from the top, the 8’s, etc.
  • Turn the paper 90 degrees clockwise.
  • For each row on the paper (it used to be a column) write a 1 if the square is colored in and a 0 if it is empty. You have now created a binary number describing the pattern for your name.
  • Convert the numbers from binary to decimal. You can turn your name into numbers! ☺
  • Don’t lose the pattern.
