I managed to crank out the above Youtube last Sunday, having returned from points north, via Amtrak. I manage to sputter through a Concentric Hierarchy presentation, hoping to connect the RD of volume 6 to the CCP, if that makes any sense (watch the video?). Getting a train in there was a plus, as Synergetics has it's "great circle train tracks" converging to what we might think of as "Grand Central stations".
Connecting to this content, which I consider American heritage, is my recent writing on Medium, wondering aloud of a charter school network might want to escape the scourge of modern standardized testing, by covering STEAM content not currently tested. A curriculum might risk anticipating what will be critical tomorrow, versus today. We call this "looking ahead" (not an original concept).
Along those lines, I've been urging on math-teach (from which I've resigned, given signs of its immanent demise) that we do more with cryptography at the high school level, which includes making use of such tools as pycrypto, though not to the exclusion of studying the bare bones mathematics. My Supermarket Math component (one of four) is all about eCommerce, which entails HTTPS, which entails RSA. Some high end high school curricula go there, e.g. Phillips Academy's. I expect Stuy's does as well.
Edgar Allan Poe fits in here, as a novelist and storyteller who understood the value of encrypted messages as plot drivers. Didn't I see a whole book on that? An article?
