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!

Trackable Circuit Board?
If you're familiar with Geocaching, these Circuit Board trackables work like geocoins. Each trackable is uniquely identifiable because they each have a code along with an activation code, and when you activate it on Geocaching.com you can send it on its journey and see where it has travelled or which geocache it is stored in. Along with whom has helped it along its way!
