Data & Logic – Understanding How Computers Think
In Quarter 4, you’ll explore how computers store and process information. You’ll learn about binary numbers, ASCII, and how text and data are represented digitally. You’ll also dive into Boolean logic, understanding how AND, OR, and NOT gates are used in decision-making and circuits. By building simple circuits and solving problems with logic gates, you’ll discover the foundation of computer systems. This quarter combines critical thinking and hands-on learning, helping you understand the core concepts that power the digital world.
Each week includes a short quiz to review the previous lesson.
Weeks 1–6:
L1 Introduction to Data: Discover how computers store and use data (not directly linked to Q3).
