On September 23^rd, our Computer Science students had the incredible opportunity to visit Bletchley Park, the historic home of codebreakers during the Second World War. The trip offered students a fascinating glimpse into the origins of modern computing and the vital role of data encryption in history.

During the tour of the facility, students explored the wartime huts and learned about the brilliant minds who cracked the Enigma code. They saw first-hand the early computing machines and gained insight into the challenges of codebreaking in an era before laptops and smartphones.

The day also included an interactive lesson on data encryption, where students experimented with encoding and decoding messages, discovering the principles behind modern cybersecurity. The experience combined history, technology, and problem-solving in a way that left everyone inspired and excited about the future of computing.

It was a truly memorable trip that highlighted the importance of innovation, teamwork, and persistence — lessons that our students will carry into their studies and beyond.
