The sixth class took part in an online history workshop run by Trinity College. The children learned about the power of using ciphers in cryptography, understanding how ancient people applied these to write secret messages and the current application of ciphers to protect online data. The children also practiced their abilities by writing their own secret messages using different ciphers.
The children then played the mystery game “The Code of Kells”. During the game, children virtually walked around Dublin city centre and collected clues to discover who stole the Book of Kells from the Old Library at Trinity College Dublin.
The children loved the problem solving element to the workshop and were delight when they solved the mystery.
