Students in AP Human Geography spent Tuesday and Thursday venturing out of the classroom and doing an activity utilizing GPS coordinates to find certain places on campus.
Students left the classroom and went outside to various places around the school for an activity called geocaching.
In this activity they were given a paper of riddles of locations to find, then proceed to look up on their phone their exact coordinates and write it down.
“We’re doing geocaching which is basically where the kids go out, and instead of finding different caches there finding absolute locations for different, different spots that we have,” teacher Liam Hayes said. “We’ve created riddles for them and they’re gonna find the latitude and longitude, build those coordinates, bring it back, almost like they’re competing with each other.”
The locations were spread out on campus going as far as to the football field to search for the coordinates.
“I think this assignment is fun,” freshman Dalvin Dzikiti said. “Because we get to explore the new school and it’s a fun way to learn and connect with others.”
