Pixel Art in Education is the use of conditional cells in a spreadsheet, where the correct answer to a question will uncover a specific colour or section of an unknown image. When all the answers have been correctly filled out, the image will be completely revealed to the student.
Much of the inspiration and many of the examples have come from the Facebook Group Pixel Art Mysteries in Education
