Learn cryptography through making art!

Workshop by Celine Pypaert (They/Them, She/Her)

Always wanted to learn how a "key exchange" works? Wonder what is the difference between symmetric versus asymmetric encryption? Not a maths expert but curious about how cryptography works? Reading this and wondering what any of this means?? Fear not, for you are in the right place! This will be an interactive workshop where we will go through various key (no pun intended) cryptography-related concepts, including (but not limited to!) the Diffie-Hellman key exchange, One-Time Pad, hashing, and transposition ciphers, using visual art including painting and paper. So come learn about cryptography in a fun way, and take home your very own abstract art, while you're at it! This session is especially geared for younger audiences such as children (e.g., 8 years to 18), but any age is welcome, including adults!

Attending this workshop will cost Free
Suitable age range all
Attendees should bring Nothing required from attendees; if people want to bring their own paints, colouring pencils or markers, or pieces of paper, they can feel free!
