We had 26 people join, with a special guest Kaylom Arias. Today we dove into to cryptology, deciphered code that was encrypted using a Caesar cipher. We used Python (coding language) to make a Ceaser cipher and encrypt it to Rot13 (More on that below). There is now a club Repl.it that you can join.
