Introduction to Morse Code: Learn a Secret Language!

Meetings per week: 1

Times: Sunday, 7:00PM - 8:00PM EST

Session 28 last 3 weeks (November 30 - December 21)

We’ll learn how to communicate using Morse Code, a language using only dots and dashes that was invented in 1838 by Samuel Morse. Originally used to communicate with a telegraph, this language is the ancient version of texting. It is still used as an emergency means of communication when technology fails, and it’s useful as assistive communication technology for people with limited mobility. In our class, you will learn the alphabet and sounds of Morse Code, and learn to communicate using methods like blinking, tapping our desks, and flashing lights. We’ll race each other to decode secret messages and play other games to improve our Morse Code skills! Morse code is ..-. ..- -.!
