WackyCoder Senior AI Lesson 12
This lesson makes binary, octets, hexadecimal, and Base64 understandable through familiar examples. Seniors learn how computers represent information and why encoding is not the same as encryption.
Class activity
Convert a small binary value, decode a short hexadecimal string, and examine a Base64 example with AI assistance.
Key takeaway: Different representations can make data easier to handle, but they do not automatically make it secret or secure.
