Time to get Wireless

As I alluded to last year, and in the face of further school budgetary pressures
teachers must avail themselves of creative and hopefully inexpensive learning opportunities to advance their knowledge base to help students cope with the technology challenges of the future. With that in mind the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) has sponsored the Teachers Institute on Wireless Technology to serve that purpose. This weeklong seminar, which is provided at minimal cost to participanst cover topics is areas such as "basic wireless technology literacy, electronics, and the science of radio; bringing space into the classroom; ham radio operation; introduction to micro controllers; and basic robotics."
