Pasha Antonenko’s next research idea dawned upon him while sifting through rows of discounted books. At a library sale with his daughters, the University of Florida associate professor realized the same strategies used to solve the puzzles within the books were the same as deciphering codes. He then wondered whether teaching children to crack secret messages could improve their language skills.
