You, the traveler, will demonstrate what you have learned in the science and technology level of the campaign by composing a codex (slideshow) on a topic that correlates with the science and technology level. You will analyze a specific culture, either Ancient Egypt or Ancient Rome, and compose a slideshow displaying, analyzing, and showing the significance of ONE engineering marvel or breakthrough in science and its impact. Be sure to use proper vocabulary and terminology of the technical feat achieved by the ancients. You will explain the function of the marvel or breakthrough created by the ancients, how it was used, and created. Furthermore, you will show how the same type of scientific/engineering feats are done in modern times. As you compare past technology with current technology, you will present it with a social responsibility perspective showing the knowledge of civic responsibility. You will conclude the codex (slideshow) by explaining why it is important to continue to build/innovate with civic responsibility in mind.

The ability to analyze, extrapolate, and share data/information will be key in any industry as it shows the ability for critical and independent thinking. Likewise, it shows the development of soft skills such as using computerized presentation software, creating files, documenting source information, and being able to organize information in a coherent manner. This will serve you well once you master the TSTC realm and enter the workforce realm by being able to appreciate and demonstrate your awareness of previous technological advances, as they add to the future of industry.
