ARRL Teachers Institute: Coming to a Town Near You

The ARRL Teachers Institute on Wireless Technology [
http://www.arrl.org/ti?utm_source=Informz&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=ARRL
] is going mobile in 2025. In addition to the cohorts hosted at ARRL
Headquarters in Newington, Connecticut, there will be several sessions around
the United States this year. The first, hosted by ARRL model school Staten
Island Technical High School in New York City, will be held January 21-24.

The format is being refined this year from five days to four. That change,
along with taking the show on the road, is expected to make it easier for
educators to attend, according to ARRL Education and Learning Manager Steve
Goodgame, K5ATA. "Especially for educators juggling a busy family life, a
four-day program near them might be an easier option than a five-day trip to
New England." Plans are also being finalized for a session in Kilgore, Texas,
in July; and another in the southeastern US. 

 
The programming and support continue to evolve. "We really want to support
these TI graduates after they leave, so we have rolled out a Discord server
so they can stay in touch with their peers who are also implementing the
material they learned here," said Goodgame. 

 
Providing community support and engagement has proven key to the ongoing
success from the program. Staten Island Tech High's program is led by Everton
Henriques, KD2ZZT [
https://www.siths.org/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=1284491&type=u&pREC_ID=2109501
] , a two-time ARRL TI attendee. Henriques has helped many of his students
not only get licensed but also be genuinely engaged in amateur radio.
Henriques will help ARRL Education Specialist Wayne Greene, KB4DSF, teach the
program.

By developing the network of educators who have benefited from the program
and by offering the regional opportunities, Goodgame hopes to receive more
applications to attend. TI is free for educators, thanks to funding from
donors through the ARRL Education and Technology Fund [
http://www.arrl.org/givetostem?utm_source=Informz&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=ARRL
] . There is a $100 application fee if the educator is accepted. 

 
Goodgame sees a long-term benefit to wrapping genuine fun into this
radio-centric curriculum. "Inspiration drives innovation so if we don't
inspire young people to innovate and expose them to RF, they're not going to
innovate in those fields," he said. "Somebody will, it's just not going to be
our kids."
