Have you heard of Geocaching? It's a great fun activity where players hide treasure chests called "caches". Using a GPS receiver, they take the coordinates of the cache and post them to the Internet (at geocaching.com). Then, other players plug these coordinates into their own GPS and go and seek them! More than a fun hobby, geocaching is quickly turning into a worldwide craze. This year, for the first time, geocaching will have a presence at this year's NECC conference. A booth will be set up to introduce teachers to the sport, there will be GPS devices available to borrow.

As was done at the CUE Conference, special caches will be placed near the convention center for players to find. There will be prizes and give-aways.
