This document summarizes an eTwinning project called "Following Enigma" carried out by a school in Zabor, Poland. It involved partnerships with schools in Slovakia, Turkey, and France. Students learned about codes, ciphers and programming through activities like using Scratch and coding websites. The project was well received by students, who asked about doing more coding activities and looked forward to future projects. Key aspects of its success included online tools and a Facebook page used to collaborate with partner schools.

 Partner schools:
- Základná škola Hlavná 5, Družstevná pri Hornáde (Slovakia)
- Balikesir Bilim ve Sanat Merkezi (Turkey)
- École élémentaire publique Luxembourg, Meaux (France)

8. Teaching programming
 Scratch – counting the area of rectangles, squares and triangles
 Hour of Code-> www.studio.code.org
 Codes and ciphers:
- binary system
- Polybius cipher
- Ceasar cipher
- AtBash
- scouts ciphers
 „The book of coding and ciphering” available on Issuu

13. How did the students react?
 „Can we create our own code?”
 „Let’s send them coded wishes!”

14.  „When is the next meeting of our group?”
 „My favourite project! What about the next one?”
 (ICT classes) „Excuse me, but we’ve already learnt about this last
year, when we had the Enigma project, so we know how to do it!”
(said with satisfaction )
