Gadget Academy

ALL THE GADGET ACADEMY SESSIONS ARE THE SAME SO ONLY ATTEND ONE, Signup during your package pickup.

Ever wanted to publish one of those great gadgets that rack up the favorite points. Everyone who attends this breakout session will walk away with a fully functional gadget cache of their own creation. This event will be led by none other than Behind the Cache and Bounce Bounce. 
At package pickup, you will be able to select your Gadget Academy Session and when you show up for that session we will check you off the list so you have a reservation ahead of time!
The Gadget Academy is going to be building an incredibly cool gadget cache and that is the one that will be covered during the session. The kit can be purchased in the CacheFest Store this year.
There might be some available on that Saturday but limited and only on a first come, first serve basis.
