Unlock the Secrets of the Invisible Radio Universe with SuperKnova

Wireless technology is central to our modern world. You may be reading these words on a smartphone or tablet using WiFi — all of these devices use the same electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) as radio astronomy. Learning these fundamentals can offer a better understanding of the technology we use in our daily lives and provide valuable, transferable skills required in many present and future careers.

The U.S. National Science Foundation National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NSF NRAO), and its administrator Associated Universities, Inc. (AUI), have created SuperKnova, an online educational platform that provides inclusive, equitable access to radio technology learning and training. “Our goal is to broaden participation in STEM by offering no-cost training and education in skills that help prepare learners for STEM careers,” shares Valarie Bogan, NSF NRAO SuperKnova Program Manager. The SuperKnova website has a wealth of free educational resources for teachers and learners of all ages. Topics include history of radio astronomy, the physics of radio technology, and even cube satellites.
