Teach Math & Secret Codes

While travelling in the UK, I was thrilled to visit Bletchley Park, Milton Keynes, UK. This little town, around 45 minutes north of London, is not that well known, but was the centre of a major war effort during WWII.

The technology developed at Bletchley Park by Alan Turing, Tommy Flowers and a huge team of workers has echoes even today, in electronic programmable computers and secure encryption and decryption of messages.
