Along with the CubeSat Simulator, the AMSAT Youth Initiative is another of AMSATs

efforts to bring students into the world of amateur satellites and radio.
This

years AMSAT Hamvention booth features the first of a series of online courses intended to generate that interest. BUT those of us NOT in Dayton can find
the

modules of the course on line. Links obviously shown in this WIA National
News

Service.

The Introduction to Satellite Meteorology course provides students with the opportunity to learn the role that satellites play in the field of weather forecasting. Following the programs theme, Satellites in Space Help Us Lead Better Lives on Earth, the course appeals to students inherent interest in earth

sciences.

As the courses progress, we are introduced to the concepts of radio communications

and eventually amateur radio.

The free courses are available directly to students and their families but teachers

and youth leaders are also encouraged to use the courses as they see fit. Anyone

interested in STEM education is encouraged to experience the online course.
