DRIVING QUESTION: Can we use current knowledge, information, and resources to solve the problems of the Roman Empire?

Inventive thinking was not just to research and answer the problem BUT to use inventive/creative thinking to come up with experts to contact for more information. I wanted students to really THINK of people who could help them—not just contacting the local government, which usually has a poor response. Students looked up articles and contacted the authors via twitter, engineers, companies such as Dell, Dr. Jackson came in for an interview, college professors, non profit agencies. When they were able to have contact with experts the students set up interviews via skype or phone, OR emailed for more information to help them from their thesis to answer the driving question.
