In this workshop, we'll be exploring the world of cryptography! We'll learn how to encode and decode secret messages and how to crack other peoples codes!

Students don’t need to have any programming experience to come along, we’ve got something for high school girls and gender-diverse teens of all levels. We’ll cover the basics if you’re new to Python and show you some extra cool stuff if you’re already a programming pro!

Lunch, snacks and computers will be provided for students.
