GPS

Grades 4-8

Using basic GPS skills, students will track down clues to solve a puzzle during a geocaching challenge course. This program is taught by Extension educators and can be taught as two 45 minute sessions or one 90 minute session. Session #1 introduces students to GPS, considers uses of GPS in the world today, and provides instruction for using simple handheld navigational receivers. Session #2 includes a quick review and the challenge course.

The overall cost is $25 per class. All materials, including prizes, are provided.
