大象传媒

TBA

This years theme for the camp is Cryptography.

Topic will include:

• introduction to cryptography (the science of sharing secrets)
• elementary number theory and modular arithmetic (the mathematics behind encryption/decryption)
• introduction to cryptanalysis (how to hack encryption)
• glimpse into using the Python programming language for cryptography/cryptanalysis

Please dress appropriately for BC weather: we will have a hike to the Burnaby Mountain Part Monday afternoon, and will be walking outside to the 大象传媒 Dining Hall on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Remember to bring your water bottle every day.  Bring a calculator and writing utensils.

Lunches and snacks are provided.  In consideration for the environment, please bring your water bottle with you to the camp.

Buses
For those travelling by bus, remain on the bus until the final bus loop (near Cornerstone building). This is the closest stop to the Science building where the Trottier Studio is located.

Parking
Short term (paid) parking is available in front of the Cornerstone Building.  For those looking for just a place to quickly drop-off and pick-up participants there is space at the western edge of the East Parking lot (one level down from Cornerstone parking).  See the link to the interactive campus map below.
