The Cipher Challenge
It's back! Very exciting!
The Cipher Challenge is run by the Maths Dept at University of Southampton and is sponsored by Trinity College in Cambridge, IBM and others.
Each week during the challenge teams of under-19s work to crack codes. There is always a story and it is great to get immersed in the scenario that has been created.
Some use of ICT has been helpful in the past. Using 'search and replace' in Word, or using a few Excel formulae, or using some fairly easy Python.
Do go to the website and have a look:
https://www.cipherchallenge.org/
I strongly suggest you work with others and sign up. The website has some teacher resources too - they are worth a look.
Enjoy!
