Technology Explorer Radio Fab Labs
Antique Wireless Museum Radio Fab Lab Classes for 2018
As part of AWA's Science Technology Engineering Math (STEM) educational initiative, this fall will see the second Radio Fab Lab Level 1 Hands-On Workshop beginning in September 2018.
The series of 12 hands-on events allowing a young person age 10 to 16 to become familiar with many facets of radio technology. The series is designed to indoctrinate AWA's Technology Explorer members with the world of radio technology. Memberships for this class of AWA participation can be found here.
Details for the series are show below. This flyer (shown below) may be downloaded using button to right.
