Use your Frog platform to help students uncover the stories behind Britain’s greatest ideas and inventions.
On this day in 2003, scientists completed the Human Genome Project, mapping the entire human genetic code for the first time; a truly historic moment and a triumph of modern science that opened new doors in medicine and research. But a century or more before breakthroughs like this, history looked very different. It was an age of steam, steel and bold inventors who reshaped the world through ingenuity and ambition.
Take Isambard Kingdom Brunel, born on 14th April 1806, whose daring designs for bridges, tunnels, railways and ships redefined engineering in Britain. His innovations paved the way for the great ocean liners of the early 20th century, including the RMS Titanic, a ship that captured the world’s imagination through its scale and ambition. Together, these moments remind us that curiosity, creativity and the courage to push boundaries have always shaped the world we live in today.
To help bring the past to life, we’ve created a fun and interactive treasure hunt designed especially for your students. There are six historic scrolls to discover, each linked to key moments in UK history, from daring inventors and trailblazing reformers to extraordinary engineering feats inspired by minds like Brunel’s.
