Sie würde gern durch die Zeit reisen, um die Technologie der Zukunft zu sehen?
I just tried "Sie würde gerne durch die Zeit reisen, um die Technologie der Zukunft zu sehen?" ...and Duo did not accept it.
Finalsatz, used when there is a goal to achieve, Wozu würde Sie durch die Zeit reisen? Um die Technologie der Zukunft zu sehen, that applies to many cases, Wozu reist du nach Deutschland? Um meine Eltern zu besuchen. The ideal is that there is a goal in the previous statement, the same can be constructed with DAMIT without the zu in the end, but that is used only when the subjects in the two phrases are different.

Looks like "um... zu": https://www.duolingo.com/comment/19999132/When-should-we-use-um-zu-and-only-zu
How about Sie würde gerne eine Zeitreise machen, um die zukunftige Technologie zu sehen ?
in '... of the future' ist future ein Nomen. Daher ist die richtige Übersetzung '...der Zukunft'
ich schrieb, "sie wuerde gerne durch die zeit reisen, um die technologie von der zukunft zu sehen", ja oder nicht?
Apart from the missing capitalisation on your nouns (Zeit, Technologie, Zukunft): I suppose it could work. Using von + dative is not as "elegant" as using the genitive, though -- even though it's becoming more and more common, it's not what I would use in this sentence. But I'll add it as an alternative.

Sie moechte durch die Zeit fahren, um die Technik der Zukunft zu sehen. Maybe not idiomatic, but is this wrong?
It is not completely wrong. Just the verb 'fahren' ist not correct in this case. Germans use 'reisen' in such a context. But everyone would understand you
Is "machen" a verb and if so: why is it not at the end of the sentence? Isn't this sentence one clause?
I suppose so -- but the um die Technologie der Zukunft zu sehen is fairly long and it would sound clunky to say Sie möchte, um die Technologie der Zukunft zu sehen, eine Zeitreise machen in order to keep the infinitive at the end, so the um...zu expression is put at the end here after the infinitive.
I believe this is the so-called Nachfeld position in the field model of German sentence structure: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feldermodell_des_deutschen_Satzes#Das_Nachfeld
In which the infinitive would be in the rechte Klammer position, which is often (but not always) the end of the sentence: sometimes additional matter comes after this position in the Nachfeld.
I thought "Sie moechte gerne durch die Zeit reisen, um die Technologie der Zukunft zu sehen" seemed a fair attempt, and it took in most of the hints given. I think It gets "through time" better than "Zeitreise, Where have I gone wrong?
Well, from reading a bit of German Wikipedia on the topic, it seems that eine Zeitreise machen is probably the more common expression, but durch die Zeit reisen does show up too. I may be missing the specific context that it applies to, but I would consider it worth reporting as an alternative.
Using möchte gern seems like a tautology to me though, even if some Germans say it...
'möchte gern' is a bit too formal. 'Würde gern' is more appropriate in this case
