Over 100 groups took part in 4 separate workshops .We encouraged parent to take part in the program.

Children were asked to draw a pixelated image.

This image was turn into a bitmap sequence using a punch card style paper.
The sequence was then broken by tearing it into lines of bits.

The mismatched bit lines was shared with another children who haven't seen the original drawing along with a instruction manual.

By following the written conditional instructions and loop instructions the children would be able to recreate the original image using pumpums.

The next stage of workshop aimed at enabling children to write their own instruction code.
