First reflection (completed start of 22/2)

My Impact Project is taking the online course called CS50X. It is a sort of introduction to binary and coding and is an adaptation of Harvard's own CS50 course for its university students.

Today is my first reflection but it is the third week of Impact Projects. I have made enough progress for these reflections to be helpful towards my impact project. Below are some screenshots of my progress so far:



Over the last three weeks, I have made some progress by writing important notes about Lecture 0, which introduces many concepts of coding, such as binary, bits, bytes, hexadecimal numeral system. The best learning I have received was that every digit in binary represents a number that is affected by increasing powers to the number 2, such as 2^0 = 1, 2^1 = 2, 2^2 = 4, and so on. Any number can be created with binary, and it is much more condensed (8 digits of binary can make the number 511).
