Quest for the Treasure Chest: GPS-Style
Commuter
June 9-13
Einstein buried ancient “treasure chests” of information and riches in several locations throughout the United States with the hopes that bright, young students would be able to figure out their locations. Armed with modern-day GPS equipment, students will navigate the all-new, specially designed, $3.8 million Helm-Zar Challenge Course maintained by Tulsa Public Schools. While navigating the course, teams will locate the hidden treasure and inherently polish their mathematics, science, leadership and team-building skills.
