2-24-14 Meeting

Caesar's Cipher

The previous meeting allowed the students to understand how an alpha-numeric cipher works and how to use the wheel to help them figure out the ciphers.  We continued working with the alpha-numeric ciphers but this time we played an online game with it.  We used a website where the students were given several ciphers.  These ciphers were their clues to the next cipher.  Eventually they freed the djinni. 

 Here are a couple of pictures of the website and examples of the ciphers the students were solving.  As you can see below the students were very engaged with this activity!  It was great to see and experience the competiveness within them to be the first group to rescue the djinni.
