Class Experience

In this week-long camp, students will learn about the history of cryptography and how to write and solve several types of ciphers. We will start each meeting with a code we will try to crack together. Each day will include learning about the ciphers via demonstration and videos, practice decoding and writing the ciphers, and finally an opportunity to share the ciphers created that day. The codes and ciphers covered in this course are:
*Pigppen
*Rail Fence 
*Atbash
*Caesar
*Polybius
*Block
*Keyword
*Twisted Path
*Morse
*Vigenère
*Playfair
*Book
*Navajo code talkers and their importance in America's involvement in WWII. 

When time allows, additional information may be added to that day's class. This may include additional ciphers and/or the history of cryptography and important individuals in the development of this field. We will also explore the CIA Spy Kids website to play games and crack codes. This website is COPPA compliant.
