Program Description

Event Details

Come learn about different codes, ciphers, and cryptograms that have been used around the world and throughout history (like Morse Code and Ceasar Ciphers) and their real-life technological applications (like the Typex and Enigma machines used during WWII). Children will strengthen their logic, computing, and pattern-recognition skills through lessons, games, and crafts. 

Registration encouraged but not required. Geared primarily towards school-aged children, although all ages are welcome.
