I'm doing things backwards. I'm learning from a great book called "Hacking Secret Cyphers with Python," by Al Sweigart. I took his Python code and converted it to Scratch. Part of it, anyway.
I haven't figured out how to deal with spaces and punctuation yet. With Python, it's easy. I haven't figured out how to do it with Scratch.
Students love "secret codes" so I'm trying to figure out ways to integrate secret codes and code-writing into math class. Encryption is all about math, so I'm experimenting with different ideas this summer. This code is actually somewhat complicated. Not sure it would click with the average middle school kid.
