    About this Workshop

    Campus: Regis College | Rising Grades: 4,5

    This just in: Professor Epoch has come across some exciting evidence revealing the potential existence of a lost city, but she needs your help! As a team of archaeological historians, you’ll be working against the clock to piece together the story and timeline of what happened. Analyze an ancient scroll and map to get clues as to its location. Grab your trowel and brush as you head to the dig site to see what artifacts you’ll surface. How do we learn the stories of the people that came before us? What can we learn about their way of life from the artifacts we find? Put on your creative thinking caps and prepare to problem-solve your way through history, so that we can tell the story of the forgotten city before it’s forever lost to the sands of time!
