RAKA BOSE
Raka Bose is an 11- year old sixth grader. She is a passionate maker, who enjoys mathematics, electronics, computer programming and robotics. She likes demonstrating her projects to engage and mentor other students on the subject.
The project demonstrates BINARY ARITHMATIC using logic gates and Raspberry Pi -
BINARY ADDER, concepts of half adder, carry, full adder and ripple carry adder.
BINARY SUBTRACTOR, MULTIPLIER, DIVIDER circuit design.
INTERACTIVE GAME of binary math.
What inspired you to make this project?:
I found it fascinating that the computers can do complicated math at fraction of a second based on only 0s and 1s. So, I wanted to build a circuit to do binary arithmetic and to understand inner workings of the computers and demonstrate that to other students.
