Course material for the 2 week session for hacker-school.de in Berlin to teach kids how to code in Python: https://tickets.hacker-school.de/ON168-Pyth/
A simple script that encrypts or decrypts provided text with the classic Caesar Cypher
- The goal of this course is to walk kids through the basics of programming using Python
- Each module will give the attendee one pice of the puzzle, so at the end it can be piced together
- It's a nice and easy way to get the basic concepts of cryptography by looking at key, algorythm, cipher text and so on
- It's also a great historical refernce how such a simple algorythm was used in ancient Roman times to ensure safe transmission of critical messages through untrusted territories, kind of analogous how communicating over public internet works nowdays
The entire excersise can be done via www.repl.it. Just sign up for a free account and follow along with the modules, which each has a README.MD to explain the concepts
- printing
- variables
- input
- if/else
- loops
- do some math
- functions
