暗号解読と暗号: 暗号学講座

During this summer class, students will learn all about cryptography (the art of writing or solving codes). They will learn about the history of secret codes and ciphers. They will learn about the most important figures throughout history in the development of creating and deciphering secret messages. I also offer a part one of this camp - they do not need to be taken in order!

Students will also learn about different types of ciphers and codes throughout the class. They will have a chance to solve these ciphers and write their own. 

I will use a combination of lecture using Canva slides, engaging pictures, and sometimes video to teach the material. Students will also need a paper and pencil handy because they will be solving and/or writing their own ciphers and codes in every class. 

During some classes, students may do an interactive project like invisible ink or making their own St. Cyr Slide.
