📚 Topic Summary

Imagine you have a grid, like a checkerboard. Each square in the grid is a pixel. Pixel art is all about coloring these squares to make pictures! We can use simple instructions, like "color this square blue" or "leave this square empty," to create cool drawings. This activity helps us understand how computers use code to create images, but without needing a computer!
