World Book Day Contest (2023)
Our World Book Day Contest is back, which means all Codelearn students have a new opportunity to demonstrate all your creativity on the online platform, where you can make your drawings using Logo (an educational programming language) or create simple video-games or animated postcards using Scratch.
ENIAC, the first general-purpose electronic computer
The technological advances that occurred during the first half of the 20th century accelerated the birth of computing. Starting from the bases of Babbage’s machine, having experience in the use of desktop calculators, adding later materials from telephone technology and with the US Army’s needs (they wanted to produce new artillery weapons during WWII), the only element missing to move towards the creation of computers as we know them today was electronics.
Codelearn Special Weeks: Quantum Computing
This week we will celebrate the second theme week of the school year, which will be dedicated to quantum computing. Quantum computers work differently from the regular computers we use in our day-to-day life: they don’t work with bits that can only have a value of 0 or 1, that is, they don’t use binary programming, but instead use qubits or quantum bits.
5 password managers to keep your data safe
Passwords helps us to guarantee the privacy of our data on the Internet. Along with e-mail addresses and usernames, passwords constitute a way to access our data and private elements on the Internet and give us the opportunity to “hide” these contents from other users. But what happens when someone manages to figure out one of our passwords? The moment someone who isn’t us gets hold of one of our passwords, we lose our privacy and, with it, the sense of protection we’ve enjoyed until now. That is why, taking advantage of a date like Safer Internet Day, today we also want to talk about password managers.
