A Timeless Journey:
Start your medieval adventure in Old England with the Anglo-Saxons. Stitch a section of the Bayeux Tapestry and craft rune stone jewelry. Then, immerse yourself in the legendary world of Beowulf. Continue your journey through the Byzantine Empire.  There you’ll explore the political world of chariot racing and try your hand at designing your own icon-style portrait.

Iconic Civilizations:
Marvel at the splendor of the Maya Civilization, as you learn about the sacred meaning of feathers, tattoos, and the ancient origins of chewing gum. From Mesoamerica, follow the traders along the Silk Road to Korea. Here you’ll practice calligraphy and honor the wisdom of Queen Seondeok by crafting a paper peony.

Global Discoveries:
Dive into the scientific achievements of the Islamic Empire by experimenting with white light just like the scientist who first explained rainbows. Get into the kitchen to grow your own rock candy, while learning about the increasing availability of sweets. Afterward, clean your teeth the traditional way with a miswak branch.

Heroes and Thinkers:
Enter the Kingdom of the Franks under Charlemagne, where you’ll discover the origins of mandatory schooling and trial-by-jury systems. Adopt Charlemagne’s nightly habit of journaling and then build a home for bees. Sail north to the land of the Norse Vikings. Meet the legendary Queen Aud the Deep-Minded and craft a harness for a drinking horn while reading tales of Thor and Loki.

Enduring Legacies:
Travel to Japan during the age of the samurai. Cultivate a mini rock garden and master the art of origami. Ride with Genghis Khan and the Mongols across the steppes, creating felted wool balls and spinning silk thread. Then step into the Ming Dynasty’s Forbidden City to learn about the origins of book printing and print your own piece.

Discover the World Beyond:
Continue your journey to medieval Benin, where snail shells once served as currency. Craft cowrie shell jewelry and hear traditional African folklore. Finally, end your adventure in Alaska, where you’ll paint a wooden mask inspired by Native Alaskan art and make snow goggles to experience how Indigenous peoples survived in harsh climates.
