Students Making History Through a New Kind of Time Capsule

Students at Camarillo Academy of Progressive Education (CAPE) in California are not creating your typical time capsule. Traditionally, a time capsule consists of objects that represent a generation in time or a particular school class collected in some type of container and usually buried to be opened at a distant point in time.

Selected as one of 27 schools to participate in a national web archiving program, the CAPE students are selecting websites for three separate collections.
