Become a Circuit Design Engineer and help create a Connected World!
By connecting engineers, makers, educators and inventors to powerful ideas and the latest technologies, the element14 Community helps you to create solutions to everyday problems. We help you to make the extraordinary from the ordinary.
Now it is your turn! We’re creating a virtual circuit of geocaches.
We need your help to make connections between geocaches using the circuit board trackables, with them you will create virtual paths that bridge between geocaches and join together Scientific and Engineering landmarks of interest as shown on our “Atlas of Scientific Achievements”. These paths showing the journey of the trackables will become a virtual circuit connecting the world!
Now that you’re on your path to becoming an engineer create a free account and sign up for the Raspberry Pi 2 Kit Giveaway or follow blogs and articles on the element14 Community to help guide you into building your own GPS and geo-location aware project!

You have found something special! Inside this container is raw iron ore taken from the mines of the Cuyuna Range. From this same location, the U.S. Air Force began its space explorations! I challenge you to learn more as you send this trackable from cache to cache.

http://www.miningartifacts.org/CuyunaRange.html Mining on the Cuyuna Range - the story of our minig era. Although mining has ended, our area has thrived from what was left behind. We have been blessed with crystal clear, deep pit lakes which are great for scuba diving, snorkeling, canoeing, kayaking and fishing. With the rough terrain around the edges, the Cuyuna Range now offers world-class mountain biking as well as a paved bicycle trail.
I hope you enjoy this trackable and learning a little about the area I call home.
