GPS Contest


That was pretty fun wasn't it? I enjoyed watching each team in action on Thursday. Hopefully the cold, rainy weather wasn't too tough to overcome -- it didn't seem to be. You all did very well, and every one of the film canisters was found...... eventually. Here are the results from the 2010 GPS Contest -- 2010 GPS Standings
Congratulations go to the winners of each class!
Period 3: Fighting Squirrels (32 points) -- Bailee H., Carter R., and Kendra S.
Period 4: Penguins (29 points) -- Cierra S., Kalynn S., Sarah Q., and Spencer P.
Period 6: TOT (35 points) -- Noah W., Brittani M., Cole H., and Hunter D.
Period 8: Echo (29 points) -- Mason S., Kyle S., and Michael L.

Feel free to leave comments that you have about the GPS contest. How was your experience? Were there any waypoints that you just couldn't seem to find? What was the best strategy? If you had to do the contest again, what would you change?

We had a great time. That was the greatest science period ever!!! We think it would have been better if people didn't tell everyone in the next period where the things were(COLE H) Just kidding cole we love you? There was one that was hidden in the bushes that was very difficult to find and I loved the one underneath the bench. I think the best strategy was to go to the closer ones first and get there before everyone else. We would try to run faster!

WE thought it was a fun experience. The waypoint were pretty much easy to find excpet for the directions to go like North, Northeast, and etc. Running to the furthest one away was our strategy. Look harder for ones that we just went past or walked over.

We thought this was pretty fun...if it was nicer out it would have been much more enjoyable. And if Alison had shoes on...
Our strategy was to start in the farthest out zone and move closer. It didn't really work...
If we had to do this again, it would be better if there was more time. Maybe said aside two or three periods to do this. It seemed kind of rushed.
