Session description

Join other geocaching teachers as we explore the area around the convention center. Whether you are an experienced cacher or have never found a cache before in your life, come join us for some fun. You'll get to meet other cachers, increase your stats, and see some of the city. This tour will be meeting in the Hall F lobby of the Colorado Convention Center.

Purpose & objective

The main purpose of this tour is for ISTE attendees to connect with other attendees through a shared hobby.
A secondary purpose of this tour is to teach a new technological hobby to those who have never been geocaching.

Outline

We will preplan 5 caches for us to find near the convention center.
Before we leave we will make sure everyone has the Geocaching App and is logged in.
If the group is too large, we can split into smaller groups, each group starting at a different cache.
We will go and have fun together for an hour or two.
