They are interactive and engaging for students of all ages. Visitors will learn about cryptology’s role in history and mathematics. One of the programs is known as the Picture Scavenger Hunt. This activity is for grades four to six. Each student will receive a questionnaire that contains pictures of the museum’s exhibits. The students search for the specific exhibit and answer two accompanying questions. There is a guided tour offered to high school students. They will learn about cryptology’s role in world history. The staff will guide the group to different exhibits. The exhibits on display are fascinating. For example, the African American Experience exhibit focuses on how African Americans have had an influence in cryptology. Some have worked for the National Security Agency and others have researched and analyzed messages. These individuals began working in 1944. Another interesting exhibit is known as the American Revolutionary War: Revolutionary Secrets. The students will see how both the colonists and British used secret codes to send messages about their plans for the war. They used invisible ink, codes, visual communications, and hidden messages. George Washington received several of these codes. This type of communication helped the United States achieve independence.
