Each team of students selects a technology or an aspect of a technology relevant to their lives or to society in general. Students will explore what is does, how it works, and how, when and why it was invented. Then, projecting into the future, they will imagine what that technology might be like in 20 years, determining what scientific breakthroughs need to occur to make it a reality. The students must convey their vision in both a written description and five simulated web page graphics.
