    Making Waves with Radio - New Ways to Engage Audiences with the Basics of Modern Communication & Navigation

    "Hello, can you hear me?" Did you just get a call or a text, post a photo on social media, or rent a scooter using your phone? Imagine how many things you do each day that require information-a message, location, or a payment-being sent wirelessly using radio waves. Despite their everyday role in our modern lives, many of us are unfamiliar with how radio waves are generated, interact with our surroundings, or are used in essential communication and navigation technology. "Making Waves with Radio" is a current NSF project that is bringing together STEM professionals from academia, industry, and informal education to create museum activities, apps, and camp curriculum, to engage public audiences about radio technologies. In this workshop, we will showcase 5 new museum activities.
