Middle and high school students can explore cryptography, secret codes, and ciphers during an introduction to the substitution cipher, which hides messages by replacing letters or groups of letters with other letters or groups of letters. Using patterns and perseverance, learn how to create hidden messages — and how to break secret codes!  

Register online in advance.
