The accompanying workbook, The Cryptoclub Workbook: Using Mathematics to Make and Break Secret Codes provides students with problems related to each section to help them master the concepts introduced throughout the book.

Some CryptoClubs meet in schools as afterschool clubs or elective classes taught during the school day.

It introduces ciphers in a way that encourages problem-solving and reasoning, and provides engaging messages to encrypt, decrypt, and crack. NGCP partners with the University of Chicago to support the National Science Foundation-funded project CryptoClub. Cryptography requires mathematics such as multiplication, division with remainder, common factors and large prime numbers.

Janet is a School Development Director at University of Chicago STEM Education, and an emerita professor in the Mathematics Department at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). Providing them with new academic, professional and social opportunities and forming a strong network of current and past students.Others are part of afterschool programs through organizations such as YMCA, Boys and Girls Clubs, and 4H. Because of the mathematical nature of the subject and the natural interest surrounding secret messages, cryptography is an exciting hook for learning and applying mathematics. The club meets quarterly, and it will be open to its members only, with all events organised weekdays from 6:30 PM in Central London locations. CryptoClub activities make students aware of basic notions of encryption prepare them for jobs in STEM fields in which data security is important.
