On the 75th anniversary of VE Day we pay tribute to the women of Bletchley Park, Alan Turing and the codebreakers who helped change the direction of World War II and rose to the challenge of cracking the 'uncrackable' Enigma code.
You can learn more about their remarkable contribution in our Glasgow Times column on "The Enigma Machine: How To Break An Uncrackable Code".
In 2020, we need coders more than ever, to crack codes and to write them, as our world becomes more and more invested in digital technology.
In today's #GSCAtHome you can learn more about cryptography and find out how to send and receive your very own secret messages. You will need some paper, a ruler, pens or pencils, scissors, and some adult permission and supervision. View on YouTube.
