Via Southgate: Jasmine and José build a radio introduces school-age kids to the Science of Radio

ARDC grant will fund publication of the book, kits for 2,240 students, and a field trip for fourth-graders.

Aided by a grant from Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC), Science is Elementary (SiE) will publish Jasmine and José Build a Radio.

Targeted at seven-year-olds, the book will be the next volume in the SiE Books series, which features diverse protagonists who solve problems using science. The series provides high quality, hands-on, offline science content that enables students underrepresented in the sciences to see themselves as scientists. In addition, the book will include an adult companion to engage families. All books include materials needed to do the experiments, ensuring that families—even those with limited means—can participate.
