From the National Institute of Standards and Technology to your home. Learn about cutting edge random number generators in this hands-on lab.

Random numbers are difficult to create, but are necessary to safegaurd our personal information, online passwords, and electronic messages.

How to entangle two magnets and recreate a quantum entangled system of random number generation.

A truly randon number generator hit the news recently - which got us thinking about randomness, how numbers are generated, and why random numbers are important.

While we can't create our own truly random number generator in our living room, we can learn about the science of quantum entanglement and generate our own random numbers in a project that closely mimics that of NIST. Kids will learn what entanglement means, how binary is used in quantum entanglement, and how binary numbers are converted into digits that we recognize.

Add depth to this project by reading our interview with the researcher Dr. Peter Bierhorst!
