New York teachers gathered at Staten Island Technical High School to learn more about radio technology and its role in shaping the future.
To bring this knowledge to the classroom, the National Association for Amateur Radio (ARRL) hosted a four-day training event that explained the benefits of radio technology.
Through hands-on activities, educators learned how to incorporate amateur (ham) radio and wireless technology into the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) curriculum.
At the event, teachers used radios and antennas to learn how to direction find signals, download weather satellite images, use digital decoding tools, and more.
“I went to the ARRL Teachers Institute looking for new ways to engage my students, and I came back with an exciting new toolbox of knowledge and resources,” said Thomas Smolka, a teacher at Ralph R. McKee Career and Technical Education High School. “It’s been one of the most beneficial professional development experiences of my career. A game-changer for your STEM classroom and Telemetry Communications /applications for the new solar car team. I’m very thankful to Staten Island Tech for hosting this opportunity.”
