As part of our educational outreach to schools through our<\/span> Education & Technology Program<\/b><\/a>, each summer the ARRL offers multiple sessions of the Teachers Institute on Wireless Technology, an expenses paid professional development seminar, in locations through the U.S. The Teachers Institute has provided teachers at all grade levels with tools and strategies to introduce basic electronics, the science of radio, space technology and satellite communications, as well as weather science, introduction to micro-controllers and basic robotics in their classrooms. The curriculum is designed for motivated teachers and other school staff who want to learn more about wireless technology and bring that knowledge to their students. Educators may attend these sessions for very little cost and it is thought that teachers who are amateur operators could possibly use this opportunity to introduce amateur radio in the classroom. There is more information available on the ARRL website. http:\/\/www.arrl.org\/teachers-institute-on-wireless-technology<\/span><\/p>\n
