Bowie Elementary school in Lamar Consolidated ISD is participating in a geocaching and video conferencing project where students track travel bugs that are moved between geocaches in different states and countries, with the goal of moving one from Bowie Elementary to El Paso, Texas. The project involves 3rd and 4th grade students at Bowie working with students at Merkel ISD and El Paso ISD to learn about different missions and states as they track the travel bug's progress across 26 states and 3 countries so far over 14,815 miles.
