Cryptoclub... coming to a school near you?


Beyond Secret Decoder Rings

Mathematicians at the University of Illinois at Chicago have developed materials to help fifth- through eighth-graders learn about cryptography.

CryptoClub is an after school program where students engage in fun coding exercises that enhance their mathematics, reading, and vocabulary skills.

The program was developed through a collaboration of UIC faculty from the Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science, the Learning Sciences Research Institute, and the School of Art and Design.
