ARRL Teachers Institute Now Accepting Applications for 2011 Sessions

The ARRL Education Services Department has announced the 2011 schedule
for the Teachers Institute on Wireless Technology
http://www.arrl.org/teachers-institute-on-wireless-technology
workshop. Offered through the ARRL's Education & Technology Program
(ETP), the Teachers Institute is a four-day, expenses paid in-residence
learning opportunity designed for motivated teachers and other school
staff who want to learn more about wireless technology and bring that
knowledge to their students. A variety of topics are covered during the
TI, including basic wireless technology literacy, electronics, the
science of radio, radio astronomy, how to bring space into the
classroom, ham radio operation, introduction to micro controllers and
basic robotics. While participants do not need to have an Amateur Radio
license to attend the basic TI sessions, one is required for the TI-2
session.

"We'll be offering four sessions of the introductory Teachers Institute
workshop this summer and one session of the TI-2 on Space in the
Classroom, focusing on satellite communications," said ARRL Education
Service Manager Debra Johnson, K1DMJ. "The workshops are offered to
teachers in America's classrooms, with all expenses paid by donors who
have contributed financial support to ARRL's Education & Technology
Program Fund. The Dayton Amateur Radio Association (DARA) will once
again host and sponsor the TI-2 session on Space in the Classroom.
Generous support by Yaesu, Ham Radio Outlet and Parallax make our
donors' contributions go even further."

There are four ARRL Teachers Institute sessions scheduled for 2011: June
13-16 in Albuquerque, New Mexico; June 20-23 at Parallax Inc in Rocklin,
California; July 11-14 at the Mohawk Valley Community College in Utica,
New York, and July 18-21 at ARRL Headquarters in Newington, Connecticut.
The deadline to apply for the New Mexico and California sessions is
April 15. The deadline for the New York and Connecticut sessions is May
15. The TI-2 will be in Dayton, Ohio on July 11-14; the application
deadline is May 15.
