Bletchley Park and coding: The Sunday Twilight Show with Maud

On the 1st and the 2nd of November 2023, the international summit on Safety with Artificial Intelligence will take place in Bletchley Park.
Why Bletchley Park? Because it is the birthplace of computer programming and decoding.
A secret location and mission for more than 50 years, it is crucial that we teach our young people how important the Government Code and Cypher School was in the fight against Nazi Germany.
Coding saved thousands of lives and shortened the length of the second world war. 
It should be a part of our national curriculum and a visit to Bletchley as common as a visit to the British museum.
