This event is an official Geocaching HQ approved Maker Magic event, which means you will get a digital souvenir for attending.
Have you ever wanted to 3D print a cache container but didn't want to buy a 3D printer?
Have you ever needed a vinyl cutter but couldn't figure out how to make a Cricut work?
Have you ever wanted to etch the GC code onto your awesome cache but there's just no space in your dwelling for a laser etching machine, no matter how many times you ask your spouse / roommates?
