Hi All,
I'm planning an activity that uses QR codes located around a city that can be located with GPS. The idea is that this event will run during a science festival and will be open to all for a fortnight. The QR codes will be located close to science-related landmarks and once scanned would send people more information on the landmark, to related websites and ask them an open question (to discuss in their small group) with a link to closely related science festival events.
We also hope to provide a limited number of devices with GPS and QR code software for schools and other groups.
I'm really excited by the possibilities and I would like to hear the experiences of anyone who has run similar projects.
Questions I have are:
What national or online resources would reach a wide public audience, who may already have an interest in geocaching or QR codes?
Does hiding physical objects (a treasure hunt) get a better response than QR codes alone?
Should we introduce a competitive element e.g. first to complete and prizes?
Has anyone hidden objects that can then be used as tools to complete a task at a final gathering? The more items you collect the easier the end task becomes.
Cheers,
Jon
