    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.

    Take A Voyage through the Solar System with the NISE Network

    The NISE Network has a new physical kit with hands-on activities based on NASA's continuing pursuit of human exploration of the Moon and Mars! The application is now open for the Explore Science: Voyage through the Solar System kit, which includes three new hands-on activities as well as training materials and a mobile app to launch users further into the solar system. During this workshop, we will hear from developers regarding the physical and digital resources available to partners, how these complement the Explore Science: Earth and Space toolkits (2017-2020), and how you can apply for a physical kit. In addition, we will hear an update regarding the Artemis mission and learn about resources to celebrate and connect this exciting mission to our new Moon resources!
