Building A Replica Enigma Machine
Computer Science student Tom tells us how he went about building a replica of the Enigma Machine used in World War Two.
Computer Science student Tom has built a working replica of the Enigma Machine used to send encoded messages during World War Two. He spent a six week internship in our Engineering Hackspace building the replica, which is now being used by students and school children to explore codes and number theory.
