How did people communicate across great distances before phones, internet, or radio? In this session, children trace the evolution of long-distance communication from ancient signal fires to Morse Code — and send real coded messages themselves.
Send coded messages through history — from ancient fire signals to the electric telegraph!
Communication technology has one of the most fascinating histories in human invention. From the signal fire beacons that warned ancient cities of approaching armies, to the optical telegraph towers of 18th century France, to Samuel Morse’s electric telegraph that shrank the world — every step was a leap of creative and logical thinking.
In this session, children go on a hands-on journey through communication history and end by learning and using real Morse Code to send messages.
Did you know? The phrase “SOS” in Morse Code (· · · — — — · · ·) was chosen not because it stands for anything — it was simply the easiest pattern to transmit quickly and remember under pressure!
What your child will do:
- Learn the timeline of long-distance communication methods
- Simulate signal fire communication using flash cards and pattern codes
- Build and operate a simple optical signalling device
- Learn and use real Morse Code to send and decode messages
- Explore the logic and structure of coding systems
What your child will learn:
- History of human communication technology
- Binary thinking: signal vs. no signal, on vs. off
- Pattern recognition and code logic
- Introduction to how digital communication works at a conceptual level
- Creative problem-solving within real constraints
- Teamwork through collaborative communication exercises
