FLEX Creating and Solving Codes and Ciphers With Cryptography #1

There are no live meetings for this class but that doesn't stop students from getting an interactive experience with creating and cracking codes and ciphers. Each Sunday for 7 weeks, at 5:00pm CST, the instructor will upload a video that explains that week's cipher or code. Students will be able to watch the video as many times as needed to learn how to encode (create) and decode (crack) that specific cipher. Students will be given an opportunity to practice decrypting (solving) and encrypting (writing) the ciphers as part of the video lesson. Students will then be encouraged to create their own messages using that week's cipher and post them in the classroom. Other students and the instructor will try to solve the ciphers that are posted as we have a blast practicing our new skill! 

The last week's activity will be a digital breakout where student's use their knowledge of pigpen, rail fence, caesar, polybius, block, and keyword ciphers to solve lock codes and see if they can breakout!

The video that is shared each Sunday at 5:00pm CST will be about the following topic:
Week 1- Pigppen cipher
Week 2- Rail Fence cipher
Week 3- Caesar cipher
Week 4- Polybius cipher
Week 5- Block cipher
Week 6- Keyword cipher
Week 7- Digital breakout using all our new ciphers! 

This is a FLEX class. There are NO live meetings.
