This lesson allows students to see how messages are transmitted from one to another, through encryption, using the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII).
Upon completion of this lesson, students will understand encryption and the process involved in sending messages from one computer to another.
Students will need:
Set up the ASCII activity; explain the computers send things in codes (mention binary if you think the students have the background for understanding). Explain what ASCII stands for (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) and hand out ASCII tables. Then, do the ASCII lesson.
