Lost? Teach A Kid GPS!


Franklin County Extension to Offer GPS Activities for Youth

 

The first GPS Treasurer Hunters activity for youth who have completed grades 4-12 will meet at the Franklin County Extension Office Tuesday, May 26, at 7:00 p.m.  Youth will learn the basics of operating a hand held Global Positioning System (GPS) unit while discovering points of interest in downtown Hampton.  Plans are to hold more activities this summer using GPS units to go geocaching and mapping county parks.  Parents are welcome.  Youth may bring their own GPS units, but not required.  The purpose of this activity is to learn about this technology while enjoying hiking through our county and state parks.  Please register by May 26.  For more information contact Jackie Dohlman at 641-456-4811 or jackied@iastate.edu
