The Enigma Schools Project As part of its intention to promote the enjoyment of maths, the MMP has taken over Simon Singh's enormously popular Enigma Schools Project. We will visit your school with a WW2 Enigma machine and deliver code breaking workshops designed to engage students from 8 to 18 with mathematics by exploring cryptography through the ages. Presentations are intended to be as interactive as possible, involving a circus of hands-on code-breaking activities, and can be adapted to suit audiences of all abilities from Year 4 to Year 13. Ideas for follow-up work and copies of Simon Singh's Code Book CD-ROM are provided |
