The Oregon Trail:
Fact vs. Fake-out

By Shelby Ward

Can you outsmart an AI gone rogue?
Prove what’s history and what’s a hack!

2

Welcome, History Detectives!

Greetings, Scout! A faulty AI robot named "Glitchee" tried to recreate the Oregon Trail, but it got its wires crossed. It mixed real history with things that don't belong!

3

Your Mission

1. Look at the "Artifacts"

2. Use your history brain to find the Historical Glitches.

3. Prove you're smarter than a robot!

4

The Tool Kit
(What was life really like?)

No Plugs: No electricity, no batteries, no Wi-Fi.

Slow Travel: People moved by foot or ox-drawn wagons (about 15 miles a day).

Simple Tools: Cast iron pots, wooden barrels, and candles.

Pro-Tip: If you see something that needs a charging cable or a motor, it’s probably a Glitch!

AI is a powerful tool, but it doesn't 'know' history—it only makes guesses based on patterns. Based on what you saw today, why is it important for humans to double-check information that an AI gives us?
