Eight West Point USMA Cadets, in collaboration with both the Greater Cincinnati STEM Collaborative and the West Point Society of Greater Cincinnati, ran a virtual #STEM workshop for 50 middle school students from four different schools. Cadets led the students through cryptography modules developed by CDT Angeline Tritschler and Dr. Lubjana Beshaj, from

The Army Cyber Institute at West Point and West Point Mathematical Sciences

Students worked through several worksheets to code and decode messages using various ciphers like the Caesar cipher and Pigpen cipher, learning about important math concepts like modular arithmetic along the way. CDT Tritschler, who is branching cyber, guided the students through the importance of cyber-hygiene and introduced the history of #cryptography, prior to students breaking out into small groups to create their own version of a scytale, ancient cipher device.” APR 21
