This document summarizes a STEM project about the history of writing instruments. The students researched writing instruments by viewing images on Europeana from various historical periods from the 15th to 19th centuries depicting people writing. They then visited an exhibition at their university library called "Voyage to the World of Writing" as part of Researchers' Night. In class, the students created posters about different historical writing systems such as Chinese, Sumerian, and those used in ancient Romania and Egypt. They concluded their project by constructing a diorama depicting writing in the ancient world.
