This Is The FUTURE of Ham Radio (& How You Can Get Involved!)

So... how do we actually engage with kids and youth in a technology dominated world where amateur radio gets left behind?

Steve Goodgame K5ATA from the ‪@ARRLHQ‬ presents "The Why and How of Youth Engagement" which deals with this topic. ‪@K5ATA‬

Steve taught in US public schools for 21 years. Most recently, he had close to 60 middle and high school students earn their ham radio licenses, and several have upgraded. Now Steve leads ARRL’s Education and Learning programs. He is passionate about getting more youth engaged in amateur radio.

This presentation was recorded at the Tassie Ham Conference 2022 👉    • Tassie Ham Radio Conference Presentations
