I asked Year 10 to get creative with representing network topologies. We had Minecraft, superheroes, Lego, Yu-Gi-Oh! and crochet. Year 10 definitely delivered - well done team!

Some great work from Y8 Art this week with their minimalist fairy tale-inspired poster designs using Google Slides, pencils or watercolours. See if you can guess which fairy tale is being shown in each poster! @inspiredarteast @InspirationEast

#TheBletchleyParkChallenge 09 ⚙️ - Make your Caesar Wheel messages harder to break!

If you have a Caesar wheel and know how to use it (see day two’s challenge!) you can make messages harder to break by using a key word (rather than just one shift).
