"The Day of the Programmer is celebrated on the 256th day of the year. This is because programmers are familiar with bytes and 1 byte = 8 bits, which gives 256 (2 to the power of 8) different combinations of binary digits. In this lesson, students can celebrate programmers by creating art that showcases different programming languages! Students are provided a step-by-step tutorial, code blocks, and instructions to create a Computer Linguist project using Tynker. By the end of this lesson, students will have combined creativity and coding concepts such as simple motion, simple drawing, basic math, and input/output."
You can complete this task by using Tynker block coding - or click in the bottom right corner of the screen to use JavaScript.
This is a great activity to learn about programming languages.

Cyber ethics is a code when using the Internet. Because of the nature of the Internet, however, there is no standard code of conduct. The individual user can choose what kind of websites to create, what comments they post, how they treat other users, and what files or information to download.
Research shows that there is a perceived anonymity on the Internet. This anonymity sometimes encourages young people to initiate or participate in negative behaviour when they normally would not. This behaviour includes: sending threating messages, posting rumors, posting fake or offensive profile, or submitting a negative image of someone. However, we are not as anonymous as we believe we are. Our "Digital Footprint" proves this.
