What you should bring: Participants should bring a laptop. You should also bring a digital camera if you have one and sunscreen. If you have a power-strip that might also be a good thing to bring. GPS units will be provided. Lunch, zoo admission, and parking are also free.

Students will do a GPS Scavenger Hunt. While finding answers to the clues, students will take photos of the animals and/or information they discover on the hunt. You may download and transfer the kml file to a GPS unit. A conversion application may be necessary to change the format of the kml file to one which the GPS can understand. Contact Dick Diener dienerd@mac.com] if you have any questions about the Zoo Scavenger Hunt or the **kml** file.
