A code is a system of symbols, letters, words, or signals that are used instead of ordinary words and numbers to send messages or store information. A code is used to keep the message short or to keep it secret. Codes and ciphers are forms of secret communication.
PBS’s zany, math-focused TV show “Odd Squad” is one show many students loved to watch. So, of course PBS designed this playful game, Codebreaker. It looks like any fun computer game, but requires kids to use logic to figure out puzzles and patterns.
PBS also has more to offer for older kids who love Cyberchase. Crack Digit’s Code is another well-designed video game that puts a secret message and a decode side-by-side.
