Abstract
West Virginia 150th Anniversary Geocache Challenge
Track: Lightning Talk - Teaching
Authors: Shay McNeil
To celebrate West Virginia's Sesquicentennial, the West Virginia University Extension Service has created a statewide geocache challenge. Caches can be found across the state at various historical sites. Each cache will include a QR code that will take the geocacher to a website to learn more about the historical significance of the location where the geocache was found. This program incorporates the use of readily available technology, and encourages an appreciation for West Virginia history.
