Children's University: How do computers calculate? - A journey into the world of 0 and 1
Have you ever wondered how a computer or smartphone works?
In this children's university, we take a closer look at the inside of these devices. We discover how computers work with numbers - using binary codes consisting of 0 and 1. We also look at what all this has to do with electrical voltage and how tiny little switches - called transistors - ensure that the computer can calculate. Little games and experiments will help you become an IT pro.
