General Info

All of our activities are scheduled for friday afternoons from 2-4 pm and are held at my home in LaPlata, MD (very near Rt 301 S). These activities are designed with the entire family in mind so everyone (kids, teens, and adults) can participate at their own level and speed. There is no assigned followup or preparatory work, but ideas can be suggested if you desire them.

Feel free to bring snacks for your family to have whenever they need. Any child or adult who needs to attend but does not wish to participate can enjoy the indoors or outdoors in a safe manner until such time as they are ready.

We ask that you pre-register for all SSoMMd activities so that we can have sufficient equipment and be prepared for all the attendees. SSoMMd membership entitles you to a reduced activity fee. There's plenty for everyone to learn and enjoy at our activities, if you want to!

Base 2 and Beyond

Date/time: October 23, 2009 from 2-4 pm

We are going to think like a computer - in base 2! To think like a computer, you need to read right to left, tell the difference between base 2 numbers and "regular" (base 10) numbers, and learn how to count again (with our fingers!). You will probably want to know how to convert from computer brain (base 2) to human brain (base 10) and back so your life is easier. Exponents go along with working in base 2, so a simple introduction will be available to those who wish it. If you are ready to go further, you can move onto octal numbers (base 8).
