Computers are digital machines, so ultimately all the data that we see on a computer is actually stored in electrical circuits as electrical pulses which we commonly represent as 1's and 0's. These 1's and 0's are known as Binary.
All the workshops that fit under this category consider how computers represent information. While some workshops such as Crazy Graphics look at how computers represent images and the benefits of digital imagery. Others in development will consider the representation of sound and text.
