Create new worlds with your students!
Steampunk blends the past with future technologies. Covering a time period from the Industrial Revolution to Victorian England to the Wild West in America, it creates a world without computers or electricity, with fabulous inventions powered by steam, gears or cogs.
Engage middle-school students using steampunk as a theme across curriculum areas. With its origins in the writings of Jules Verne, H. G. Wells and Mary Shelley, steampunk challenges readers with imaginative, speculative fiction. Its historical settings allow students to experience past events and consider alternate futures. Steampunk's technology requires an understanding of scientific inventions. And its use of beautifully crafted, retro objects lets students see and design everyday objects in new ways.
