2023-04-28 - NRAO Program Looking for Students 18-20 Years Old to Learn About the Electromagnetic Spectrum
This is a special edition of Zero Retries — Zero Retries 0096 will publish as usual at 15:30 Pacific today.
I no longer have any involvement with Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC), but I continue to strongly support ARDC’s activities in Amateur Radio and related fields, especially ARDC’s encouragement of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) programs.
One of the core tenants of Zero Retries is that Amateur Radio can be a pathway for techies, and especially youth techies, to better understand radio technology through hands-on experience. Such experience can, perhaps, help lead to a career involving radio technology… and the US needs more of those with deep expertise in radio technology.
Thus I thought it especially appropriate to pass along this Press Release in full to Zero Retries readers.
Please forward this unique opportunity to anyone you think might be interested. Specifically, please pass this along to any technically-oriented organizations such as makerspaces and Amateur Radio clubs that involve youth that are potentially interested in technology careers.
A very, very minor disclaimer (though I cannot imagine that it matters…) — The funding for this program from ARDC was a grant proposal during my tenure on the ARDC Grants Advisory Committee. I (enthusiastically) voted to fund it.
