I'm one of the organisers of the SteelCon conference where we have a kids
track. This year, during the opening talk, Pippa (6) set the kids two
crypto challenges, one Pigpen and one rot13, she then came up onto stage at
the end and gave prizes to the ones who had solved them.

She loves puzzles and this is just another type of puzzle to her.
