Title: Geocaching Excursion (Year 11/Year 12 VCE VM and Year 11 Applied Computing Students)

The Geocaching excursion in Melbourne City was one of the most exciting school activities I’ve done. We took part in a geocaching challenge, a high-tech treasure hunt where you use a mobile app and GPS to find hidden items around the city. The app gave us clues and coordinates, and we worked in groups to track them down. 

It made the experience even more fun, as we had to communicate, solve problems together, and think creatively. Some caches were really well hidden, but my group managed to find two of them, which felt super rewarding. After that, we got to hide one of our own items and create a clue for another group to find it. Watching them try to figure it out added a whole new level of excitement! We also filled out a form after each find, which helped us reflect on the activity. It was a great mix of technology, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving. I really enjoyed it and would definitely love to do something like this again.
