Digital Junction Tracker for Caves

Lewisburg, West Virginia
2021-2022

The Greenbrier East High School InvenTeam is inventing a Digital Junction Tracker (DJT) for caves. The DJT is a digital beacon and receiver that will give spelunkers a more reliable way to find their way out of the cave. It will also act as a tracking device for rescue teams to find spelunkers who have lost their way, are injured, or become stuck in a cave and need to be retrieved. Ultimately, the goal of the digital junction tracker is to save lives.
