Hello and welcome to the Mutating Messages blog! Mutating Messages is a public experiment funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. We've created a project video (thanks Activideo) and GCSE maths lesson plan for schools.

Telling the world - second update
Thanks for all the crossed fingers! Our other paper, explaining the maths used in the Mutating Messages project, has just been accepted by the prestigious Journal of the Royal Society Interface. This is great, as it's a journal read by all sorts of scientists - which will help get the message out to the various places where it might be useful. So it's taken a while (nearly a year and a half from start to finish!), but the messages from The Swinton High School have been published in a scientific journal - we're thrilled that school students have been involved in the research process.

GCSE Lesson Plan - update
Great news - our GCSE Lesson Plan made it to the national level! It can now be found on the National STEM Centre website (STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), among all the other great teaching and learning resources there. We hope that a few more classes across the UK will now be playing with tree diagrams and using them to make guesses!
