Students will explore mathematical encryption and encoding techniques that have been used throughout history, tackling complex processes to solve a codebreaking challenge. The workshop includes a unique opportunity to see a genuine Enigma machine and be introduced to its design and role in WW2.

Subject Focus: Maths, History, Computing

In this interactive workshop students will further develop their knowledge and understanding of Britain’s influence and role during WW2. Participating in immersive activities, students will be challenged to think strategically and help secure Britain’s success in the Battle of the Atlantic.

Subject Focus: History, Maths

Through interactive activities and hands-on demonstrations students will examine how Bletchley Park’s Codebreakers exploited vulnerabilities and basic breaches of protocol to break encrypted messages. Students will also develop an understanding of how these techniques are still relevant in today’s connected world.

Subject Focus: History, Computing, PHSE
