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 people's codes!

Students don’t need to have any programming experience to come along, we’ve got something for high school aged girls and gender-diverse students 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 and snacks will be provided for students.

Please use this Humanitix site to sign up!

Please let us know as soon as possible if you can no longer attend so don't over cater and can offer your place to another student.
