ARRL is accepting applications[1] for summer 2017 Teachers Institute on Wireless Technology[2] sessions until May 1. This summer's sessions will be held in Dayton, Ohio - hosted by the Dayton Amateur Radio Association (DARA[3]) - and at ARRL Headquarters in Newington, Connecticut. (DARA also helps to sustain the program as a generous contributor.") Past participants who have completed the introductory (TI-1) course may consider signing up for the advanced (TI-2) session on Remote Sensing and Data Gathering. These expenses-paid, intensive professional development opportunities offer educators training and resources to explore wireless technology in the classroom using Amateur Radio.
Introductory (TI-1) ARRL Teachers Institute sessions will take place July 17-21 in Dayton, Ohio, and July 24-28 at ARRL Headquarters in Connecticut. One advanced (TI-2) ARRL Teachers Institute class will be held July 10-13 at ARRL Headquarters.
An article[4] in the March issue of QST includes the schedule and description of offerings. The article "Amateur Radio in the STEM Classroom[5]" in the April 2016 issue of Tech Directions discusses how four Teachers Institute graduates employ Amateur Radio in their classrooms. This video[6] offers an inside look at the Teachers Institute. More information[7] is available on the ARRL website.
