a simple mission: not to disappear, but travel around!
Die Idee zur Kidscoin ist im Rahmen der Vorbereitung einer Kinderuni-Vorlesung zum Thema Navigation und GPS entstanden, bei dem natürlich als praktische Übung auch Geocachen nicht fehlen durfte. Wichtig war, dass hier Kinder selbst eine Chance bekommen sollten, eine Kidscoin mitzugestalten - somit kam es zur Austrian Kidscoin Competion, an der sich alle selbst cachenden Kinder bis 12 Jahren beteiligen konnten. Aufgabe war, ein Design für eine Seite der Kidscoin zu entwickeln (die andere Seite ist für das Logo der Kidscoin reserviert).
Aus den Einsendungen wählte eine Fachjury (anerkannte Geocoin-Experten aus Österreich) die Finalisten aus, in einer öffentlichen Abstimmung bestimmte dann die Geocacher-Community den Sieger.
Die Gewinnerin 2010 war: Johaenchen, 9 Jahre alt. Sie cacht seit sieben Monaten, neben dem Cachen hat sie auch die Hobbies Zeichnen, Lesen, Schwimmen und NintendoDS spielen. Ab dem nächsten Schuljahr wird Johaenchen den Bildnerischen Zweig des BRG Boerhaavegasse besuchen, in dem begabte SchülerInnen im kreativen Bereich intensiv gefördert werden.
The idea to produce a "Kidscoin" came up during the preparations for a lecture at the Viennese children's university on the topic of navigation and GPS, that of course should include a geocache as "practical lesson". Children should get the chance to contribute to the design of the coin - thus the Austrian Kidscoin Competition was called, open for all geocaching kids up to the age of 12. The challenge was to develop a design for one side of the Kidscoin (the other was reserved for the logo).
An expert jury (recognized geocoin experts from Austria) selected the finalists, out of which the winner was chosen in a public voting by the Austrian geocaching community.
The winner 2010 was 9-year old johaenchen. She started geocaching seven months ago, her other hobbies are drawing, reading, swimming and playing on the Nintendo DS. In the next school year, she will attend the artistic branch of the BRG Boerhaavegasse, a school that especially fosters gifted students.
Her winning design, the "map", described by herself:
"I sketched a map with two caches, because maps and reading maps are very important for geocaching. It is important to have a good overview. And because you get to see many streets, houses, parks, ... while you are caching, and discover many beautiful and interesting locations, where caches are hidden. A map, which is not for the eyes of a muggle, only for cachers like us."
