Topic Brainstorming
We have spent time developing a common definition for technology and we have explored the different categories associated with technology. Now it is your turn to explore topics that may interest you. Your goal is to identify and explore 6 topics of interest to you. You will lightly research each topic by identifying a historical fact and a scientific fact. In this process, you should examine how many sources are available that you can research and determine whether or not you are interested in the topic. This process will help you identify your top 3 topics that you will propose for your final Exhibition.
