Explore the history of human communication with programming. Students build a project that employs two methods of communication — a traditional wired telegraph and a modern-day wireless texting device that allows students to communicate with each other in the classroom through Morse Code. Along the way, they perform experiments and learn about electricity and electronics. They also learn about analog versus digital communication, wireless technology, and radio waves and apply these lessons when programming their projects.
