The Enigma Project travels all over the United Kingdom and abroad, visiting over 100 schools and organisations, reaching over 12,000 people of all ages every year.

The Enigma Project is part of the Millennium Mathematics Project at the University of Cambridge, aimed at inspiring students in maths, science, and history through codes and code breaking.

Here you will find resources and ideas on how to inspire, motivate and demonstrate the practical applications of mathematics using code and ciphers in the classroom either before or following your Enigma Project visit.
