Future of Fantasy & Sci-Fi:

Steampunk Portals

Winter 2026


We learned about how portals show up in myths, history, science, and imagination — from the Maya underworld and the Norse Bifrost to Einstein’s wormholes and the internet! We discovered how quantum entanglement could inspire future “Twin Gate” portals that stay perfectly connected across space. Then we designed and built our own steampunk portal prototypes to travel through time, space, or even other dimensions!
