Enigma/Paper Enigma - Franklin Heath Ltd Wiki. Although the Enigma cipher as a whole is quite complex (it's complexity is comparable to modern cryptographic algorithms) the individual transformations within it are relatively simple.

In fact, they are simple enough that you can decipher an Enigma message with just a paper model. Our model is three-dimensional, to illustrate the wiring of a real Enigma machine. Space science from home: resources for children and adults. With many people across the world staying at home these days, we have curated a selection of activities for you to pass time and learn more about space science in the meantime.

Space science from home: resources for children and adults

Armchair astronomy You could start with ESASky, a discovery portal that provides full access to the entire sky. This open-science application allows computer, tablet and mobile users to visualise cosmic objects near and far across the electromagnetic spectrum – from gamma rays to radio wavelengths – as observed by many space science missions, operated by ESA and other agencies, as well as ground-based telescopes. Users may experience ESASky either via the Explorer mode, visualising random objects with the dice button, entering the name of one's favourite object and navigating around, and switching wavelength and/or observatory, or via the Science mode, which also enables users to download the relevant data, and much more.

I thought we knew a lot about LEGO.

Homegrown Learners - Home - LEGO Learning With Simple & Motorized Mechanisms

In the past several weeks, however, I've discovered we've just scratched the surface with all of the goodness LEGO Education has to offer. When the Simple and Motorized Mechanisms set was delivered to our house, I had Grant open the box, organize the pieces and look through the instruction books. Since it was at a middle school level, I told him to wait for a bit until I could help him - or until I could get one of our middle school boy LEGO lovers to come over and assist. Finally, I caved in and just let Grant HAVE AT IT. He has been building something different every day - and learning SO MUCH in the process.

About the Set While the set is designed for classrooms at the middle grades level, it has been SO applicable to our homeschool. You can click over and see the specifics of the set for yourself. When you consider how much regular LEGO sets cost, the price of this is actually quite good. Electronics Club. MiniSumo.org.uk: MiniSumo Mechanics. It's easy to jump into a solution for minisumo without giving it much thought, they are small enough that most practically sized components will lead to a reasonably competitive 'bot.

The problem really comes when you find that something isn't quite up to the job or you find that you need to get that edge over the opponent but can really see how, or don't understand why some things work better than others. Most of this could be taken for granted but hopefully a little thought will give you an edge over the competition. There are a number of calculations than can be used to assess various mechanical aspects of our minisumo 'bot. Given a few simple calculations we can start to see how our minisumo physically interacts with it's surroundings in a way that will allow us make positive improvements.

The minisumo will be presented in a simple way, looking at the interaction with dohyo and the role of friction, how this may dictate the torque requirements. Intel Computer Clubhouse Network. Interested in opening a Clubhouse?

There’s been a lot of buzz about a recent video featuring Mark Zuckerberg (founder of FaceBook) and Bill Gates (co-founder of Microsoft).

Computer Programming at Williamsburg Schools

You can watch it at The video advocates the teaching of programming to students (including young students). The reasons are varied but two major ones are to meet a high-demand job need and to teach a valuable way of thinking. Parents should know that we have been teaching programming here in Williamsburg Schools for over fifteen years. I would like to describe our current programming curriculum, which has evolved and expanded over the years.
